ABOUT THE BUILDING
Dedicated on August 28, 1969, Hagedorn Hall was originally built as a $1.7-million Treasury Department Training Center. It was designed by Louis Jensen as a modern 12-sided, bronze-paneled building with a windowless design. The building was jointly shared by the National Training Center of the U.S. Bureau of Customs and by the North-Atlantic Regional Training Center of the Internal Revenue Service and leased by Hofstra University. In 1981, the U.S. Eastern District Court opened its doors on October 20th. Now called Hagedorn Hall, the building was completely renovated and dedicated to Amy and Horace Hagedorn on October 9, 2003. It is now home to the programs in graduate nursing, physician assistant studies, counseling and mental health professions, and education.
