History

Crawford Hall is one of nine original buildings designed by William Pereira that were present when the campus opened in 1965. Cased in cylindrical concrete panels and perched atop a small hill, it has a castle-like presence when viewed from the road. It is attached to a smaller administrative building by an arched, covered walkway which spans a landscaped courtyard between the two. Originally named Campus Hall, it served as a multi-purpose facility prior to construction of the first Student Center in the 1980s.

English rock band Led Zeppelin played an 11-song set at Crawford Hall on May 1, 1969.

English band The Cure played an 18-song set at Crawford Hall on October 27, 1984 as part of their "The Top Tour".

American no-wave band Sonic Youth played a 14-song set at Crawford Hall on November 3, 1990 in support of the album Goo
