Contrary to semi-popular belief, Harrelson Hall was not designed by an NCSU architecture student who used the cylindrical-based building idea for his senior design project (and received in “F” for it). It was designed by Edward Waugh, a prominent Raleigh Modernist architect who was brought to the area via Henry Kamphoefner, the first dean of the College of Design.
