Building History
This building, with its virtuosic wood framing, echoed that of nearby Winkenwerder Hall, also designed by Grant, Copeland and Chervenak in 1963. Originally named the Forest Sciences Building, it was renamed Bloedel Hall for Julius H. Bloedel (1864-1957), founder of the MacMillan Bloedel Limited forest products company.
Building Notes
Richard Haag and Associates, Landscape Architects, designed the courtyard formed among Bloedel, Winkenwerder and Anderson Halls. This courtyard had some paving and benches and providing a delightful, sheltered venue for outdoor gatherings or solitary moments. This courtyard remains one of the finest outdoor living spaces on the UW Campus.
