Gearhart Hall at theUniversity of Arkansas is a building on the university'scampus inFayetteville, Arkansas. The building was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1992.[2]
Gearhart Hall was built in 1935 as "Classroom Building" with two other structures: theHome Economics Building and the oldStudent Union. UsingIndiana Limestone, the building was finished in 1940 by the Manhattan Construction Company ofMuskogee, OK. It initially held faculty only. The Commerce Building was finished in 1947, and the two buildings were connected. It was at this time that the structure was named theBusiness Administration Building. Five other departments were also housed in this building until the namesake moved out in 1978 to a new Business Building on Ozark Avenue. It was then renamedOzark Hall, which it remained named until 2015. In 1987, the Commerce Building-portion was razed. The building then came to house theGraduate School, the department of geosciences, and the nursing program. In December 2015, Ozark Hall was renamed Gearhart Hall to honor G. David Gearhart, the fifth and former chancellor of the university.
Gearhart Hall was expanded over the approximate location of the old Commerce Building. The three-year project, designed byRobert A.M. Stern Architects was completed in 2014.[3] The new wing houses theHonors College and a few classrooms. As part of the expansion, the remaining classrooms also received restoration and updating.
