This eight-story building is very similar in style and form to its next door neighbor, Kennedy Onassis Hall. The fenestration pattern and material choice are the same, yellow brick with cast stone detailing, but the details themselves are different. Munson Hall has a slightly projecting center bay with a recessed entrance with vertical cast stone banding. Three medallions decorate the entrance along with two panels with decorative scroll work.
