Gunter Hall, dedicated in 1928, was the first campus building erected during George W. Frasier's presidency. Its modified Cathedral Gothic style architecture and the color of its brickwork are repeated in several Greeley buildings including Greeley Central High School. Gunter's bells are important community icons. The architectural details of the Gunter interior are almost as well known as the exteriors. Framed pictures of athletic standouts from the beginning days of the institution can be found on the walls of the building. The stairwell mural depicting health, recreation and sports topics is located in the east stairwell between the first and second floors. The gymnasium room of the Gunter Hall of Health included a balcony; the hall seated 1,100 people. The balcony was removed in 1957 due to fire code requirements; folding bleachers were then installed. Gunter Hall is named for Colorado Governor Julius C. Gunter who secured funding for the building. Butler-Hancock Hall, built in 1974, replaced Gunter Hall as the University's physical education building.
