Dickey Hall Auditorium

JOHN MILLER DICKEY HALL - completed in 1991 with funds allocated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - is a 60,000 square feet, three-story structure, designed by Friday Architects/Planners of Philadelphia. Dickey Hall houses Lincoln’s main computer facility and various departments in the Social Science Division, computer-equipped classrooms, tutorial rooms, audiovisual-equipped lecture halls, and traditional offices. There is adjacent parking for about 120 cars. The building is named in honor of the Rev. Dr. John Miller Dickey, who founded Ashmun Institute in 1854. Ashmun was renamed Lincoln University in 1866 in honor of slain U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
