Lapharn Hall Another step towards meeting the need for classroom space was the construction of Lapharn Hall, which houses the botony, chemistry, psychology, and zoology departments. The building, named for Increase A. Lapharn, an early Wisconsin scholar, is modern, spacious, and equipped with many new laboratory and experimental facilities.
