Description
Opened in 1973 as a dedicated space for the study of Asian cultures, this St. John's University building was designed by architects John S. Lynn and Herman C. Knelbel. Traditional architectural elements frame the structure, extending to a white marble terrace. Beyond its art gallery, the hall brings together campus resources including the Chin Ying Asian Library, the Vincentian Center for Church and Society, and the Inclusivity Resource Center.
