This building was designed in 1922 by the Muncie firm of Kibele and Garrard and is the second oldest remaining building on campus. It originally was called Science Hall and housed thirteen science departments ranging from agronomy to zoology.

In 1976 Science Hall was renamed East Quadrangle, and ten years later was named the Burkhardt Building to honor longtime administrator Richard W. Burkhardt. The building, which originally cost $300,000 to build, underwent a $3.5 million rehabilitation in the early 1980s.
