"Built at the turn of the 19th century as a Classical Revival gymnasium, Fayerweather Hall has already been transformed several times over its history. Now it has been completely renovated to serve the art-history department as the Lindner Center for Art History. The exterior fa�ades have been restored, and a long-vanished roof monitor has been rebuilt. New floors have been inserted to create a three-story interior accommodating seminar spaces, a visual-resources center, and administrative and faculty offices. A two-story atrium links the upper two floors under the rebuilt roof monitor, allowing daylight into faculty offices as well as into the administrative and seminar spaces below. The renovation also removed a drop ceiling that hid the gym's wooden trusses, now visible for the first time in 75 years. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
