Description "To the east of Lehigh University's Packer Hall and somewhat higher is the Gymnasium. It is constructed of Potsdam sandstone, with facings in stone of a lighter hue. It was planned by Addison Hutton, architect, of Philadelphia, valuable assistance in the elaboration of the details being rendered by Dr. Sargent of Cambridge. It was erected in 1882, and is supplied with the latest patterns of gymnastic apparatus. On the ground floor are bowling alleys and a large room suitable for general meetings of the students, and lined with lockers for clothes. There are side rooms containing baths, etc. The second floor is the main gymnasium, forty feet high in the centre, with a visitors' gallery at one end, and a running course in a special gallery going about the whole building and calculated to be thirty-eight laps to the mile. On the floor stand the various apparatus of the gymnasium, and the class drills under the director take place here. At the side of the main hall are the director's room, dressing rooms, and both tub and shower baths." Edmund M. Hyde, The Lehigh University, a Historical Sketch, 1896. With the opening of Taylor Gym in 1914, Lehigh President Henry Sturgis Drinker '71 declared Coppee the new home of the Department of Arts and Science. The building was named in honor of Lehigh's first president and professor of the arts, Henry Coppée.
