Description: Architects Myron Hunt and H.C. Chambers laid out the original master plan for Occidental College in 1914, and 21 of the Mediterranean style buildings were realized which were determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 2001. The contributing buildings include: Johnson Hall; Fowler Hall; Mary Norton Clapp Library; Swan Hall; Thorne Hall; Booth Music-Speech Center; Freeman College Union; Samuelson Campus Pavilion; Weingard Center (Orr Hall); Admissions Building; Urban Environmental Studies; Bird Hillside Theater; President's House; Erdman Hall; Haines Hall; Emmons Health Center and Wylie Hall. Six other features include: Patterson Field; Campus Quadrangle; Perimeter landscaping; circulation network/landscaping; Alumni Avenue east of Campus Road; and Pardee and Thompson Gates. In 1999 the architectural firm of Levin & Associates doubled the size of the 1928 Robert Freeman Memorial Union by re-configuring the original building and designing a 28,000 square-foot addition. This complex is called the Johnson Student Center. The 1914 James Swan Hall men's dormitory was transformed in 1960 from living quarters into administrative offices. Brian R. Bloom was the lead architect on a 2011 Swan Hall renovation and addition project that doubled the more than doubled the existing space.
