Hamerschlag
Hall
| |
Hammershlag Hall is home to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and laboratories for the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It also contains engineering classrooms and a "clean room," which was originally a coal room, where coal was burned to fuel the energy needs of the campus. At that time, shoveling coal was a freshman responsibility required for graduation. This room, once the dirtiest on campus, is now the cleanest room being 97 - 99% dust and dirt free where computer chips and parts are assembled. This is part of the nationally noted Magnetics Technology Center. The building was renamed in
1965 for Arthur A. Hamerschlag, first president of
Carnegie Institute of Technology.
