THWING CENTER Thwing Center (pronounced twing), lo- cated in the center of the Case Western Reserve campus, became, with its renova- tion in 1980, the center for staff and stu- dent extra-curricular life on the CWRU cam- pus. Thwing was named after Charlie Thwing, a former president of the university, whose exceptional dedication to fulfilling the needs and concerns of his students inspired this honor. His picture hangs on the wall be- tween meeting rooms B and C. The center is a conglomeration of three distinct structures: At the left of the center is Hitchcock Hall, built in 1897 as a private residence; on the right is Thwing Hall, built in 1913 as amen’s club. In the center is an L-shaped addition connecting the two ag- ing but servicable buildings. The original cost of the addition, along with its furnish- ings, was $3.5 million. Architect of the renovations was Don M. Hisaka. He not only designed the modern- styled connecting addition, but also re- worked the interiors of Hitchcock and Thwing Halls. 12 |Introduction B aber crate ae eet Gl weer penne em
