Laird Hall is one of the Whateley Campus main buildings constructed after the reopening of the school and was finished in 1966. It is both round and four winged (the wings apparently arranged around the round central part) Brutalist concrete building[1] located on the western side of the campus. Part of Laird Hall was destroyed in a giant robot incident and subsequently replaced with the Eastman Annex.[2] Laird Hall is used for Physical Education classes of all kinds, including martial arts, flight classes,[2] and briefings for Applied Powered Combat otherwise held in Arena 91, the start booth of which is also below Laird Hall.[3]

Eastman Annex[]

Eastman Annex is where the martial arts classes are held. It was damaged on Parents' Day in the fight between Chester Fitzgibbons and Guan Yu. Rebecca Stone managed to get herself a room there permanently assigned.[4]

Trivia[]

The names Laird Hall and Eastman Annex are nods towards Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[5] Since Peter Laird would have been 12 years old in 1966 the school administration presumably named the building after someone else, and likewise for the Eastman Annex.
