University of Denver Cherrington Hall, between 1966-1990

Set of black and white negatives with contact sheet of exterior views of Ben M. Cherrington Hall on the campus of the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. Cherrington Hall was built in 1966 and is an example of International Style architecture. Local Denver architect Edwin A. Francis was selected for the design of the building, which was built by the Pinkard Construction Company. Perkins and Will Architects took over the project when Edwin Francis died during construction. Cherrington Hall houses the Josef Korbel School of International Studies (the Graduate School of International Studies, or GSIS, program) and the Social Science Foundation. Construction of a major addition to Cherrington Hall was completed along the south face of the existing structure in 2009 to house the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. The design of the Sié Center incorporates elements of the original structure with influences from Asian architecture.
