A number of the academic halls on campus are important to the history of the Bloomington campus and are recognized today as important academic buildings on campus.

Maxwell Hall (pictured at left) and Wylie Hall are located in the Old Crescent area of campus. Wylie Hall was built in 1884, and Maxwell Hall followed in 1890. Maxwell Hall housed the library until 1907 when the book room exceeded its capacity of 60,000 volumes. Both buildings have recently undergone complete internal renovations.

Ballantine Hall and Woodburn Hall are popular classroom sites. Ballantine is the largest academic building on campus and is nine stories high. Woodburn, originally the Business School, now houses both the Departments of Political Science and African Studies and has the largest lecture hall on campus.

Franklin Hall is the setting for many of IU's administrative offices, including the Office of the Registrar, Bursar, Parking Operations, Student Financial Assistance, and Overseas Study.
