Close-up of splashing fountain in new science complex at the University of Puget Sound. The circular fountain, 74-feet in diameter, was in the middle of the U-shaped, three story Gothic-Tudor Thompson Hall. The $4,000,000 project was dedicated on April 21, 1968. In 2005 the university decided to build a new 51,000 sq.foot science building linking the north and south wings of Thompson Hall, thereby displacing the fountain and a large sequoia tree. The school hoped to build a new highly visible water feature on the west side of campus. (www.ups.edu)

New science complex at the University of Puget Sound. After more than two years of construction, the new science building, named in honor of longtime U.P.S. president R. Franklin Thompson, was dedicated in April, 1968. The $4,000,000 science complex was the largest building project in the school's (then) 80-year history. It was designed by Nelson, Karona & Zeigler, architects, and built by McDonald Bldg. Co. View of U-shaped, three story Thompson Hall facing Union Ave., shows off the Tudor-Gothic brick architecture. A circular fountain, 74-feet in diameter, lay in the middle of the complex. The fountain would become the scene in the coming years of much illicit wading, dunkings and pranks.

On February 12, 1924, the concrete work by contractors J.E. Bonnell & Sons on Jones Hall, the first building to be constructed on the new College of Puget Sound campus, was almost complete. The red tile roof was scheduled to be done next. The building was designed by the architecture firm of Sutton, Whitney & Dugan, as was the entire original campus. The school was patterned after the English educational institution of Cambridge. When completed, Jones Hall would represent an investment of $300,000. It was built completely of reinforced concrete with brick veneer, making the building fireproof. It was scheduled to be finished in early summer, in time for the college to transfer from 602 No. Sprague (now the site of Jason Lee) to this location and open for classes in the fall.
