Buttrick Hall is a collegiate gothic classroom building[1], on the main campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. It was built in 1928 by the architect Henry C. Hibbs.[2] John D. Rockefeller-funded General Education Board funded half of the construction funds (as well as to Calhoun and Garland Halls) and the name Buttrick Hall recognizes GEB officer Wallace Buttrick(1853-1926), who advocated for Vanderbilt's academic and medical developments.[3]
Buttrick Hall contains classrooms, lecture halls, offices and an atrium for undergraduate students. Its current size is 90,000 square feet.
