James I. Mueller Hall, accommodated the College of Engineering's Materials Science & Engineering Department, and was planned underground, save for an exposed, glazed entry foyer. It had an L-shape and was located northwest from Roberts Hall.

Building History

According to the College of Engineering at the University of Washington: "Mueller Hall was completed in 1989 for a cost of $2.9 million. Seattle architect Ralph D. Anderson (1924-2010) and the local firm of Koch Duarte designed this "daylight basement" facility around a sunken plaza. This allowed nearby Roberts Hall, which once housed the College of Mines, to retain its prominence along Stevens Way. Anderson had worked with Robert C. Koch for many years, before the latter started his own firm, Koch Duarte. The building cost approximately $2.9 million to erect.

Mueller Hall was named for Professor James Mueller. He had been a Professor of Mining and Metallurgical and Ceramic Engineering from 1949-73. The last three years he was chair of the department.

Mueller Hall now houses the Materials Science & Engineering Department. (See University of Washington.edu, College of Engineering, "Mueller Hall," accessed 03/04/2020.)
