The Wayne Education Building was the first classroom building that we have done on the Wayne campus.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

In other words, I have no truck for anyone who goes out and does an eclectic building.

In other words, each piece of the building must look as though it was designed for that particular building.

Because, if we understand how a building is to be produced and we find a way that it can be more simply produced, then obviously we are contributing to building better buildings more easily.

Being the gateway to a large city, St. Louis, I had felt from the very beginning that somehow this building should symbolize this sense of being a gateway.
