4 thoughts on “Butler University’s Clowes Hall to expand with 1,200-capacity ballroom

  1. This is wonderful news! Clowes is such a wonderful facility. Have many good memories. 🙂

    Some thoughts: Any chance of bringing back that wonderful breakfast restaurant that was out front? Eating there especially outdoors in the Spring was an absolute treat.

    Also many may not know this but Evans Woollen is not just known for Brutalism architecture, but was involved in numerous wonderful buildings in Indiana, including the Indianapolis Zoo Arts Garden–an absolute treasure there too (and also regretfully under utilized with respect to children events on the garden grounds which is what it actually was designed for in the charrettes).

  2. Seems like a good plan. Such a venue probably is needed by the college — and it will be a great resource for the North Side in general.

    It is, however, unfortunate that Clowes Hall is being enveloped by Schrott and the new structure to the point that the original building can’t be seen. It was originally such an elegant building at a profile — and one of two well-regarded architectural gems on the campus nationally (the library being the other). The only remaining view (the front) was, of course, considerably changed. Butler has land constraints which makes some of this understandable, of course. I know there was effort to make it work.
