Guzman Hall


Built in 1930, Guzman Hall was named after Saint Dominic Guzman, founder of the Dominican Order. Each face of the building features a hand-carved relief of a shield or angel. Inside, at each corner of the ceiling on the first floor, there are sculpted angels bearing shields. The doorknobs were fashioned especially for this building: they are embossed with the Dominican shield. Besides being the communication hub for departments and schools, Guzman Hall houses several classrooms, science laboratories, the President’s office, the offices of other administration and staff, and the Guzman Lecture Hall.

 

Guzman Lecture Hall

Once the dance studio for the University’s dance program and campus library until mid-1960, Guzman Lecture Hall is now a heavily used facility for classes, lectures, special student presentations, and student dances. The state-of-the-art projection and sound system adds to the versatility of the space.
