Campus - The Walkway Connecting Thornton Hall and Hensill Hall

About This Item

View of the elevated enclosed walkway connecting Thornton Hall and Hensill Hall on the San Francisco State University campus. The concrete and glass structures reflect the modernist architectural style of the 1960s–1970s campus expansion, when academic buildings were designed with integrated pedestrian circulation above ground level.

Context

Thornton Hall (home to the School of Engineering) and Hensill Hall (science and mathematics classrooms and laboratories) were part of SFSU’s major post-war growth at the 19th Avenue campus. The connecting skywalk allowed students and faculty to move between buildings efficiently while reinforcing the interconnected design of the science and engineering complex.
