Tuesday 01-23-07. What we know today as Otis’ Ahmanson Hall was originally the IBM Aerospace Headquarters building. Designed by Eliot Noyes and Associates along with A.Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons, it was finished in 1963. It has been featured in several architectural articles because of its unique pattern- designed to resemble an IBM “punch card.”

Today Ahamanson Hall houses 5 of our BFA programs (Toy Design, Communication Arts, Architecture/Landscape/Interiors, Interactive Product Design and Digital Media. It is also home to the Millard Sheets Library, the Admissions office, Student Affairs and many other administrative offices.
