Carol C. Harter Classroom
Building Complex (CBC A) (CBC B) (CBC C)
Architect(s): KGA Architecture, Tate and Snyder Architects (now Tate Snyder Kimsey
Architects)
Year: 1994
This 168,000 square-foot complex is composed of three buildings referred to as
the "A", "B", and "C" buildings. Each building has its own purpose and distinct
shape. The round "A" building features multiple lecture halls, the rectangular "B" contains
faculty offices for many departments, and the square "C" building houses classrooms.
The "B" building is the tallest and screens the campus from Thomas & Mack.
Due to a 15-foot slope the "C" building features entrances on both the second
and first floors. A courtyard with a grand exterior staircase, benches, and planters
for additional seating allow students a nice backdrop to socialize in between
classes.
The CBC will
be called the Carol C. Harter Classroom Building Complex as of Thursday,
May 11, 2006.
After 11 years as UNLV president, the campus honored [Carol Harter]
at a ceremony and Gov. Kenny Guinn also proclaimed May 11, 2006, "A Day in Honor
of Carol Harter" to recognize her years of service to the UNLV and Las Vegas
community.
The complex of three buildings, constructed in 1994, holds nearly half the classrooms
on campus. "That every student should walk through that building or take a class
here long after we here have gone ... simply takes my breath away," Harter said
during a naming ceremony on Thursday.
