Named for Brigadier General Edmund Hayes, a major benefactor of the University at Buffalo, Hayes Hall was once the county insane asylum and later its poor house. It thus marks an important era in the history of disability in Western New York. Today it houses the UB School of Architecture and Planning, and the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access.
