Milwaukee #18B: Fred F. Loock Engineering Center

912 North Milwaukee Street

Milwaukee School of Engineering Fred F. Loock Engineering Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in January 2001
Fred F. Loock Engineering Center in January 2001.

This brick building, designed by Fitzhugh Scott and finished in 1967, wraps around two sides of the Allen-Bradley Hall of Science to form what is now simply the Science Building. This building contains classrooms, laboratories (including the Johnson Controls Laboratory, visible from street level) and the Rapid Prototyping Center. 

Fred F. Loock was once the President of the Allen-Bradley Corporation and the Chairman of the MSOE Board of Regents.

NOTE: The floors in the two buildings are not at the same elevations, resulting in an interesting internal system of ramps and staircases. In addition, the freight elevator makes a total of six stops (labeled B, G, 1, 2R, 2F and 3) in what is supposedly a three story structure.
