Faner Hall is a building on the campus of Southern Illinois University Carbondale in Carbondale, Illinois. It is named after Robert D. Faner, a former English professor at the university. It is located in the central part of the Southern Illinois University Carbondale campus, and houses the College of Liberal Arts (COLA), which includes multiple departments, as well as the Sharp Museum. [3]
Faner Hall was designed by architecture firm Geddes Brecher Qualls Cunningham in the Brutalist style. Faner Hall is 914 feet long and four stories high. It acts as a "wall" between the old and new sections of campus. [4] [5]
On March 6, 1972, a collapse at the construction site killed university freshman Michael G. Hayes. [6] Since its completion in 1974, Faner Hall has been the subject of many rumors on campus. [7]
Faner Hall houses many of the departments which belong to the University Core Curriculum as well as other areas of study. Departments include Africana Studies, Anthropology, Art & Design, Communication Studies, Criminology & Criminal Justice, Economics, English, Geography & Environmental Resources, History, Languages, Cultures & International Trade, Linguistics, Paralegal Studies, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology.
