Julian developed the mass production of hormones and helped with the availability of birth control pills and the synthesis of a drug used to treat glaucoma. The building opened in 1970 and was dedicated to Julian in 1974. It was originally East Gate Hall. The Second Floor was renovated in 2003 to provide modern departmental offices for Biological Sciences and Chemistry, and additional facilities for Chemistry and campus administrative units.
