1969 - Construction of Hearnes Center
Image
Construction of the new basketball arena began in 1969, officially opening in 1972. Construction strikes and the lack of funds caused the auditorium's slow development. The 1971 Kansas-Missouri game was supposed to close Brewer Fieldhouse as the basketball arena, but Hearnes hadn't yet been fully built.

1998 - The study cells in Ellis Library
Image
Resembling a dungeon, this photograph unveils a part of the library tucked away from the general study rooms--the study cells in the West stacks of the library. Though intimidating, these carrels were very popular among students to focus on work while having access to many of the materials they might need. Ph.D. students could rent out these carrels to have a "temporary residence" in the library.
