Barton Hall was built in 1961-62 to accommodate the Radiation Laboratory, a branch of the University that did research for the U.S. Air Force. It was named for Carlyle Barton, chairman of the University's Board of Trustees from 1941 to 1958. When the Radiation Lab, by that time known as the Carlyle Barton Laboratory, closed in 1970, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering took over the building. The Center for Speech and Language Processing (CSLP) is also located in Barton Hall.
