Harrelson Hall (Raleigh, North Carolina)

USA / North Carolina / Raleigh / Raleigh, North Carolina / Stinson Drive, 2610
 science, language school

Harrelson Hall is the first cylindrical classroom structure ever built on a university campus. It has a 206 foot diameter and provides an unusual focal point for the university plaza--a brick-paved courtyard reminiscent of St. Mark's Square in Venice. Halls and faculty offices are located on the rim, while lecture rooms are along the inner part of the building. The structure is honored with the name of John William Harrelson (1885-1955), the first alumnus to serve NC State as chief administrator.
