English: Eggers Hall at Syracuse University was named in honor of Chancellor and former economics professor Dr. Melvin A Eggers. First occupied on December 28, 1993, this six-story steel and concrete structure is located on Crouse Drive, south of Maxwell Hall. It also houses a third floor coffee shop and the large four-story JoAnn Heffernan Heisen Atrium link to the historic Maxwell Hall. Eggers Hall is reported to comprise 166,396 gross square feet.

The six story building is linked to Maxwell Hall by a three-tiered atrium. When built, it housed the departments of the Maxwell School, including history, economics, political science and geography. It contains offices, conference rooms, classrooms, and lecture halls. Included were a public events room, a 100-seat lecture hall, administrative and faculty offices, offices for a number of Maxwell School programs and a café. Themed seminar rooms such as the American Experiment Seminar Room honored the Seneca Falls Women's Movement, while the People of the Longhouse Seminar Room held banks of chairs against the walls and an open center space inspired by Onondaga Nation council meetings.
