Construction
LaFollette Complex was constructed in 1967 with the most recent remodel in 1998. The brick complex consists of four L-shaped eight-story towers and a 10-story tower in the center that houses mainly older and international students.
The elevators in LaFollette and two other of Ball State's taller residence halls – Johnson B and Studebaker East (until Studebaker East's remodel in 2011-2012) – are unusual in that they were extremely early co-ed halls. As such, their elevators serve only two floors: The first floor lobby, and the sixth floor lobby, which duplicates the first floor almost exactly. This served to separate the male and female portions of the dormitory, as the stairs would pass by lobby doors.
