Adelbert Hall.

Adelbert Hall is the administrative center of Case Western Reserve University. It is located in the Case Quad next to Millis Science Center. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is the original classroom building of Adelbert College. The building was a gift of Amasa Stone. In its early years, it also housed the college library as well as the offices of the college president and treasurer.

Originally built in 1882, Adelbert Hall was gutted by fire on June 23, 1991. Its interior was subsequently rebuilt, and Adelbert Hall once again houses the Office of the President and the Provost. Adelbert Hall also contains the offices of many other members of the administrative staff.

Because the offices of many high-level university administrators are located in Adelbert Hall, it is common in informal speech to refer to the upper levels of the administration by the metonym "Adelbert". This usage sometimes implies that the speaker believes the administration is isolated from the rest of the university.

Adelbert Hall is located at 41.5048138889° N, 81.6082166667° W. Its street address is 2040 Adelbert Road. Its building code is ADEL.
