"[2] Inside the lobby is a painted ceiling and a large mural donated by the Class of 1949, "The University, Sunrise to Sunset" by Artemis Housewright, an FSU alumna.

[3] After the library moved to Strozier, the building was home to the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Philosophy and WFSU-TV, which housed its studio there from 1960 until 1982.

[3] The building was named in 1961 for William George Dodd, an English professor who accepted a position with the FSCW in 1910[3] and became Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences until 1944.

The windows were created by students enrolled in the Master Craftsman Program at FSU over a dozen years with money from private gifts and donations of individuals, classes and other groups.

[5] In the years since, the Master Craftsman Studio continues their work creating and installing leaded-glass Commemorative Windows in the Heritage Museum of Dodd Hall.

The displays of photographs, ephemera, and various artifacts that document the history of the University change periodically because the museum was intended to be dynamic so that visitors and alumni would find something different each time they stop by.

[3] Since 2011, donors and alumni have commissioned additional windows to commemorate individuals and legacy organizations that helped Florida State University grow and succeed.
