Owen Hall and the statue of Herman B Wells by Kagan Tuncay.

The second building built on the new IU campus at Dunn's Woods, in 1885. Ground was broken on both Owen Hall and Wylie Hall at the same time, on April 2, 1884. Both buildings were designed by Indianapolis architect George W. Bunting. It was named after Colonel Richard Owen.

Owen Hall was originally built as a natural science building and museum. Many other departments have used it over the years. It is currently home to the School of Continuing Studies.

Owen Hall is also unique in that it's one of the few non-limestone buildings on campus.
