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)

    “The statements of science are hearsay, reports from a world outside the world we know. What the poet tells us has long been known to us all, and forgotten. His knowledge is of our world, the world we are both doomed and privileged to live in, and it is a knowledge of ourselves, of the human condition, the human predicament.”
    —John Hall Wheelock (1886–1978)
