1.) Erdman Hall is not the only educational building Kahn has designed, he is also the architect for the Richards Medical Center at the University of Pennsylvania which exhibits tall columns similar to that of Erdman Hall.
2.) Kahn struggled to blend his design with the ideas of Dean Katharine Elizabeth McBride and worked hard to distinguish each room as a separate entity and not just a series of partitions.
3.) The window openings are installed laterally which niches light to the right and left; the windows can only be opened outward by a crank which then exposes the room to the elements.
