By 1900 Case had added the Electrical
Laboratory for electrical engineering and a small observatory
for astronomy to its campus.
WRU added 4 buildings for Adelbert College (Hatch
Library, Physics Building, Eldred
Hall, and the Biology Building
– known as DeGrace Hall since 2001). The addition of
these buildings was necessitated by the increasing enrollment.
In 1890-1891 Adelbert’s enrollment was 80. In 1900-1901
the enrollment was 198. The new laboratory buildings (Physics
and Biology) were also used by the women students for their
science classes.
A building was also completed for the Law
School. This was the first building built exclusively for
the Law School. The School had been housed in the Ford
House previously.

This map features the Adelbert and Case
campuses. Adelbert added 4 new buildings since 1892. The
sidewalk running north and south parallel to Adelbert
Road was known as the Adelbert Walk. Case added the small
observatory situated between
the Chemical and the Mechanical
Laboratories.
