Facilities
The school is located in the University of Washington's Mary Gates Hall, one of several university buildings bordering Drumheller Fountain. Formerly known as the Physics Building, it was renamed after a $10 million gift from the family of Mary Maxwell Gates. In 1999 a $35 million expansion added technologically sophisticated classrooms and computer labs, office spaces and commons, transforming the 1928 historic building and 1949 addition into a 175,000 square foot quadrangle with a skylit commons at its center and a new main entry facing the Suzzallo Library. The architects of the original building were John Graham & Company and of the 1999 project the architects of record were Bassetti Architects.
The Information School uses the basement, 3rd, and 4th floors of Mary Gates Hall. Its advising office, Technology Exploration (TE) lab, PhD offices, and computer lab are all located on the fourth floor.
