Meyerson Hall houses the University of Pennsylvania's School of Design. The building, designed by the architecture firm of Martin, Stewart, Nobel & Class, was constructed in 1967 in concrete and brick. The total area of the building is 93,780 square feet.
Meyerson Hall is located at the corner of Walnut Street and 34th Street in University City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Immediately adjacent to the south is the Fisher Fine Arts Library, designed by Frank Furness and completed in 1890. Immediately to the west is the College Green, the heart of the University.
The building currently houses the main offices of the following departments of the School of Design: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Historic Preservation, and City and Regional Planning. Fine Arts is the only department in the school not housed in Meyerson, being located across 34th St. in the Morgan Building.
