 Its imposing size and unimaginative brown color earned it the nickname "the brick," to go along with "the toaster" for [[Jerome Greene Hall]].

A skybridge also connects the building to [[CEPSR]]. More importantly, there is an awesome, 360 degree view from the roof, if you can figure out how to get up there. Play safe.
 Other campuses have more Mudd Halls. All of them, however, are named after Seeley G. Mudd, a prominent philanthropist and the son of Seeley Wintersmith Mudd, after whom our Mudd Hall is named. Our Mudd Hall appears to be the only Seeley W. Mudd Hall in the entire nation. There are at least a dozen Seeley G. Mudds. We are therefore unique and special.

 It was built in [[1966]] according to a design by Voorhees, Walker, Smith. It would be amazing if they had ever found work afterwards.
