Photos from Previous Events About the Cupola Era The Cupola Era is named for the restored cupola that now sits on Chemistry Plaza above Giauque Laboratory. In 1890 a handsome brick building was constructed for the college on what is now the site of Hildebrand Hall. In time it came to be known as "The Old Chemistry Building," and when it finally fell to the wrecker's ball to make room for more modern facilities in 1966, its cupola was preserved. Recently restored, the cupola serves as reminder of the days when the college rose from a small institution to an internationally acclaimed center for teaching and research in the chemical sciences. |
