Bruce Morris Walker of Walker McGough Architects, was the Partner-in-Charge of this project, working with Designers, Robert Nixon and Edward Musgrove, among others; a building program had been formulated by a UW Ad Hoc Programming Committee in early May 1963, and by May 7, 1963, Walker-McGough had read it; the committee included Dean Solomon Katz, Chairman, Prof. Carl. B. Allendoerfer, Prof. Robert Dietz, Associate Professor Robert L. Fernald, and Prof. Andrew R. Hilen, Jr.

A parking garage was built at the same time as Padelford Hall, the two projects costing $5,013,000; Padelford opened in part in October 1966 and was finished in December 1966; George E. Teufel Company served as the General Contractor for the two projects; total square footage needed in this project for the College of Arts and Sciences was set at 68,880 square feet.
