Here, the west side of campus is shown from aerial view. Daisy Hill, with its cluster of residence halls, is pictured at the top along with the Lied Center at the very top of the photograph. The Lied Center is the last completed building to be constructed on campus. Budig Hall, now being built from the shell of old Hoch Auditorium, will take over that honor in the fall of 1996.
ROBINSON GYMNASIUM
SNOW HALL
FRASER HALL
The old Robinson Gymnasium originally sat in part of the space where Wesco Hall now stands. When Hoch Auditorium used to play host to home basketball games in the late 1920s and 1930s, the lockeroom for the Jayhawk basketball team still was housed in Robinson. Players had to dress and walk to Hoch, sometimes in the middle of winter.
Originally, Snow Hall stood in the lawn in front of where Watson Library is now. Construction of old Snow Hall was finished in 1886, making it the third building erected on the KU campus. At that time, it represented the western boundary of KU.
The old and new versions of the building are named after one of KU's first faculty members, Frank H. Snow.
The modern-day Fraser Hall sits just east of where the original building of that name once stood. When it was built, the first permanent KU structure was called University Hall and housed all classes. The buildings are named after John Fraser, the first recognized KU chancellor. After Fraser left in the fall of 1874, the University's enrollment had jumped from 105 students to 259.
