Both UW campuses have architecturally anachronistic buildings from the 1960s that are rumored to feature "riot-proof" design. Getting lost in Padelford Hall is a right of passage for first-year students in Seattle, just as getting lost in the George L. Mosse Humanities Building is a near-universal experience for newcomers to the Madison campus.
Padelford Hall houses the University of Washington's departments of English and mathematics, among others. When it opened in 1967, the building full of disconnected towers and meandering, dead-end hallways received an American Institute of Architects Seattle merit award for design. Its architectural style is thought to be heavily influenced by the Neo-Medieval work of Eero Saarinen, who took inspiration from monasteries. But it will come as no surprise to the building's critics that Walker & McGough, the Spokane architectural firm that designed Padleford, specializes in institutional structures that feature a different kind of cell: Prisons. Walker & McGough's portfolio includes correctional facilities in Washington, Montana, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Kentucky.Â
Padleford Hall's irregular shape is due to its location, which was previously an outdoor amphitheater.
The George L. Mosse Humanities Building, heart of Wisconsin's College of Letters & Sciences, is a national exemplar of the Brutalist style of architecture that was prominent in the 1960s and 1970s. Architects of that era had trouble reconciling the optimism and frivolity of the pre-war Beaux-arts structures with the atrocities seen in WWII, and Brutalism was the result: a style that portrays a sense of moral honesty in form and function, creating an unpretentious space that the masses can use collectively. Chicago architect Harry Weese, best known for his design of the Washington, DC Metro, While its maze-like hallways, dead-end staircases, and slanted exterior walls suggest the intent to prevent congregation and facilitate law enforcement breach of an occupied building, Humanities' open walkways and central courtyard facilitate communal gathering.
Humanities' imposing exterior structure belies the architect's vision of a cohesive megastructure for art, music, and history; the walkways and courtyards are defined for functional sharing of space.
Both Padleford and Humanities have defenders and detractors. Padleford seems like it will remain a hub of liberal arts at Washington for decades to come, but Humanities has been on architectural death row for decades, and demolition is slated to begin in 2027 to make way for a new home for Letters & Sciences. It will be the end of an era.
