The FHA, the Federal Housing Administration, built houses and apartments including Brand Whitlock Homes. Its neighbor to the south, Tucker Hall, was built by the Federal Emergency Administration at the same time. In 1960 it was converted to faculty offices. In 1994-95 the interior was refurbished, adding an elevator and widening the hallways to make it accessible to handicapped under the provisions of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. The renovations added a computer laboratory with 21 workstations, a classroom with video and computer projection and a seminar room for political science.
Cables connect to the campus computer center from all offices.
