Description:	People walk along a sidewalk near the front doors to Clowes Memorial Hall and a car is parked in front of the building. Constructed of concrete and Indiana limestone, portions of the building are 90 feet high. A zoning variance was required as at the time of construction, as building projects in the area were limited to a height of 50 feet. A balcony extends over the front entrance, while a sidewalk and driveway are located in front of the building. Designed by architects Evans Woollen III and John M. Johansen, construction of the approximately 83,444 square-foot building began on August 15, 1960, and it officially opened on October 18, 1963. At the time of construction, the building was unique since it was designed to host a variety of events including orchestra concerts, ballets, operas, lectures, and University events.
