"The stress placed by the architect on the entrance is reminiscent of the Baroque, although the rest of the building has none of the distortion of most examples of that style. In addition to emphasizing the entrance by projecting it forward, Buckham added two massive Ionic columns which flank the main door. Here he borrows from the Classical Revival era but provides his own touch by resting the columns on brick supports which rise several feet above ground level.
The roof is a somewhat modified Mansard type which is found in the Second French Empire style. The roof design aids in preserving the proportions of the building and avoiding a top heavy look. There is a three foot roof overhang all around the building which suggests a 'capped' effect."

"The congestion is such that neither service nor work can be satisfactorily accomplished. Teachers, research men, extension workers, stenographers, students, soldiers, visitors tread on each other's heels."

"Three stories in height, including a tall basement, it is rectangular with a widely overhanging, flared, and bracketed hipped roof of red Spanish tile. The building is faced with American bond yellow brick with a random rusticated rock faced sandstone ashlar foundation , and molded brick water table. The main block extends three bays to either side of the central pavilion. There are seven bays on the rear of the building and four on either end. All windows, except as noted, are paired, one-over-one, double hung with aluminum storm sash. Second story windows on the front facade and both ends have arched tops."
