Constructed of foot-long concrete blocks with inlaid colored glass, the Seminar was originally three separate structures with courtyards in between:
  • Seminar Building I, the Cora Carter Seminar Building
  • Seminar Building II, the Isabel Waldbridge Seminar Building
  • Seminar Building III, the Charles W. Hawkins Seminar Building
The Seminar buildings were constructed mainly by students and have crumbled over time. New concrete blocks are being cast to replace those that have deteriorated.
