Crawford Hall
Crawford Hall is home to the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. It is last of the three buildings to be constructed. Crawford Hall's construction was begun in 1966 and the $3.8 million ($27.2 million today) building was completed and dedicated in 1969. It was originally the home of the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Psychology, and the Department of Biophysics and Microbiology (now part of the Department of Biological Sciences). Crawford Hall is named after Stanton C. Crawford, former Dean and 13th Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, whose scientific specialty was Biology.

Famous quotes containing the words crawford and/or hall:
“[Asked by an interviewer, “What do YOU want to be?”]: What people want me to be.”
—Joan Crawford (1908–1977)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
