Brown Hall, Table Mtn.
Brown Hall first opened its doors in April 1981 and was named after George R. Brown ’22.
Brown Hall was built with a generous donation from this Mines alumnus. When Brown asked how he could help the mining department, he was told there was a need for a new building. Brown immediately wrote a check from the Brown Foundation for the full amount and gave it to President Guy T. McBride. Brown Hall opened in 1981 to accommodate the mining engineering and basic engineering departments and was renovated in 2011.
Built for mining and basic engineering, it currently houses the departments of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mining Engineering. Brown is also home to several makerspaces, including Blaster Design Factory, the Outlet, the Machine Shop and the Garage, and the Blaster’s Brew coffee kiosk. On the roof of Brown is a ground station, built in support of the Mines Cube Satellite program.
