MENDEL HALL is the central building in the educational set-up for the college. It houses the administrative offices of the President, Vice- President, Dean of the College, Registrar, and the Deans of the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering. The business offices, the office of the Placement Director, the office of the Chaplain, and the Book Store are also in Mendel Hall. The first floor contains all these; the second floor houses classrooms and the amphitheatre. Engineering labor- atories are in the basement and on the third floor. The office of the Biology Department and the laboratories for the biological sciences are on the third floor. The fourth floor is devoted to the Physics Department and the Chemistry Department and holds the laboratories for these sciences. Since, in addition, one wing of the building is used for a resident student dormitory and dining hall, Mendel Hall is truly a central building of Villanova College.
