About

University
Built in 1968, the Thomas L. Martin Building was conceived to fill the need for more lecture space. Named to honor former dean Thomas L. Martin, the Martin Building contains four large lecture halls that seat more than 260 each, as well as 20 smaller classrooms. The Martin building was dedicated by Ezra Taft Benson in 1970 and underwent a major remodeling in 2000. The Thomas L. Martin Building continues to serve the entire campus by providing classroom space for instructors from nearly every college.

    The MARB is a uniquely singular building . BYU must have been a very different place before 1969, when man glimpsed that perfection that only belongs to the heavens, and then decided to build the MARB. Every time I enter, I spend time pondering its square shape and symmetric form, because I can’t figure out which way is north. This is truly one of the most marbellion buildings at BYU. Don’t even get me started on the padded, firm seats and 18 inches of leg room. The man who installed those seats deserves so many things. The last time I was in the MARB, I cried, and not just because I was taking a final. But also because it was the final time I would have a class in this building. MARB.

    Worst building on campus. No windows, no leg room, nothing interesting, small hallways. This is a building just so make sure BYU can keep up with demand for popular classes
