Original laboratory equipment included engines on test stands, a three-phase electric generator, and equipment for materials testing. The additions added space for classrooms, offices, a fluid dynamics area, and a machine shop. | Original laboratory equipment included engines on test stands, a three-phase electric generator, and equipment for materials testing.

| Since 1991, Hallden has been home to the Fine Arts Department, encompassing Art History and Studio Arts. Hallden also houses the Center for Teaching and Learning, which is located within the Dangremond Family Commons, a function room in Hallden Hall. The space was formerly the home of the independent [[gallows_hill_bookstore|Gallows Hill Bookstore]], followed by use as a storage unit, before its renovation in 2013. Common-hour events and workshops often take place in this space. |
