Current Use
Herrold Hall is a common space that houses academic classrooms, an IT department and OULN. OULN is the Ohio University Learning Network which links classrooms to the other regional campuses, as well the Athens campus, to offer a wide range of classes taught by faculty across the Ohio University system. In addition, Harrold Hall houses a world-class, 1,600-square-foot research facility known as The Advanced Asphalt Research Laboratory. This laboratory focuses on design and analysis of flexible pavement, evaluation of the mechanical properties of each ingredient in a pavement mix, and physical modeling. It allows for hands-on training of students, technology transfer to the private sector and government, and advanced research.
History
Herrold Hall opened in October, 1978 to meet the needs of increased enrollment, changing curriculum, and physical needs. The building is named after Gordon Herrold who was the long-term vice president for engineering and research at Anchor-Hocking Glass Company in Lancaster. Herrold Hall was built at a cost of nearly $2 million and was funded in large part by a local community campaign.
