academic buildings

University lecture halls

Academic buildings are structures on a campus where teaching and research take place—classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, and faculty offices.

The term distinguishes these from residential, administrative, or recreational facilities: The academic buildings are on the north side of campus.

Most universities name them after donors or distinguished scholars.
