Investing in McDaniel’s Business Legacy
Built in 1914, Lewis Recitation Hall was the first building constructed on campus following a plan developed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm and is named for President Thomas Hamilton Lewis, who served as the college’s president from 1886 to 1920.
An addition was completed in 1966 and the construction of Lewis Hall of Science to create science laboratories and classrooms for the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics departments occurred in 2001. Lewis Hall of Science is connected by hallways to Lewis Recitation Hall.
The architect behind these renovations is Marshall Craft Associates, Inc., of Baltimore and the general contractor is Harvey Construction of Hunt Valley, Maryland.
This renovation will provide our faculty and staff with a welcoming, inviting space that will truly showcase our business program and makes an incredible difference for current and future McDaniel students.“
