Knowlton Hall, located in Columbus, Ohio, United States, is the current home for the three disciplines that comprise the Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture (KSA) at Ohio State University. The building was completed in 2004. The School of Architecture offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in the fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and City and Regional Planning. Knowlton Hall serves as the replacement for Ives Hall, the previous home of the school of architecture which was demolished in July 2002. The namesake of Knowlton Hall is Austin E. "Dutch" Knowlton. He graduated from Ohio State University in 1931 with a Bachelor's in Architectural Engineering and provided a $10 million donation that spearheaded the funding for the creation of the building. Art and Gallery Space: Knowlton Hall exhibits a sketch wall of over 80 drawings donated from former speakers at the Baumer Lecture Series. This collection can be accessed by the public when the building is open in the Student Services office. The first floor also features the Banvard Gallery, a rotating art and installation collection space utilized by faculty, students, and alum to exhibit work.
