- seanmcdirmid 8y agoJust the building, not the entire CSE department. Not to mention Allen library.
- fbarred 8y agoThe library was named for Kenneth S. Allen, Associate Director of Libraries from 1960 to 1982, in recognition of his years of service to the Libraries, and in appreciation of a generous gift from his son, Paul G. Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. http://www.lib.washington.edu/suzzallo/visit/about http://www.lib.washington.edu/suzzallo/visit/about
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoYes, just like there are two gates halls/buildings named after Bill’s mom and dad. It is fortunate that the CSE building at UW is named after Allen rather than Gates, unlike MIT. I went to UW in the 90s when Allen library was brand new and the new CS building was just a dream.
