Dauer Hall

 

 
The Florida Union, designed by architect Rudolph Weaver,  was in operation by 1936 as a multipurpose student center. It endured a lengthy construction schedule during the Depression because of funding problems.  One of the building's distinctive features, a stained glass window prominent on its east facade, was not in place until 1938.  In 1967, the Union became the Arts and Sciences Building and served the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.  It was renamed, in 1975, for Dr. Manning Dauer, chair of the Political Science Department, 1950-75.  After renovation, the west wing of the building became Keene Faculty Center in 1998.

Dauer Hall is among the buildings constituting the University of Florida Campus Historic District, an historic area added to the National Register in 1989.
