Parrington Hall, built in 1906, was the fourth building constructed on the University of Washington campus. Originally a science building, it has served the University for 90 years as a classroom and faculty office building, and it continues this function after restoration. The work included the full restoration and rehabilitation of the historic structure and the re-configuration of the interior to accommodate new systems and academic programs. The building houses the Graduate School of Public Affairs and the Center for Institutional Development.
