The last dormitory in this complex, Lockhart, continued the boundary wall effect of Foulke and Henry, running north, parallel to University Place. This location placed Lockhart squarely at the western terminus of one of main axes on the campus, McCosh Walk, which ran east-west from Washington Road through the Tiger Gateway between Blair and Little. To acknowledge and maintain the continuity of this main axis, Klauder incorporated into his design for Lockhart a large arch that is off-center in the building but in line with McCosh Walk.
