Built in 1963, William James Hall is a 15-story building on the campus of Harvard University. One of the tallest buildings on Harvard's campus, William James Hall stands at 215 feet tall. The 15-story structure was designed in the New Formalism style which designer Minoru Yamasaki is best known for. Other notable buildings by Yamasaki include Robertson Hall at Princeton University and the former World Trade Center (1973–2001) in New York City. The building is named in honor of William James, who was instrumental in establishing the Harvard Psychology department.
