Overview
Designed by one of Seattle's earliest Modern architects, Paul Thiry, Sr., The Regent Hill complex was composed of a pair of four-story sections, later named McGregor Hall and Barnard Hall as well as Stearns Hall, connected with a nearby commons and dining hall. The stark Modern styling of the buildings took campus architecture in a contemporary direction at the time of its completion in 1952. Thiry would go on to design Scott / Coman Hall, another dormitory complex in 1958.
