Aderhold Hall – UGA 1060 (1971, Category 4). Aderhold Hall is a seven-story high building located on the north side of Carlton Street opposite the veterinary complex. The building was constructed in 1971 in the Late Modern style and houses the College of Education. Aderhold Hall is named for O.C. Aderhold, who served as the dean of the College of Education before being named the seventeenth president of the university.
Aderhold Hall has a tan brick exterior with tall, thin vertical concrete ribs at each bay connecting horizontal concrete bands at the top and bottom. Simple rectangular aluminum windows puncture the brick walls at each floor level in the center of each bay.
Representative of some of the least appealing characteristics of modern design, Aderhold lacks human scale and is undistinguished in its architectural treatment and siting. Standing alone along the street with a parking lot on its north side, the high-rise lacks relationships with adjacent buildings and does not create the kinds of exterior spaces typical of University buildings.
