English: Royce Hall and Haines Hall, on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), are two of the original four buildings – along with the Physics-Biology Building (later the Humanities Building and now Kaplan Hall), and the College Library (now the Powell Library) – when UCLA moved in 1929 from its original campus on Vermont Street to Westwood. At the time, Haines Hall was called the Chemistry Building, and was renamed after Charles Grove Haines, a UCLA alumnus who served on the political science faculty from 1925 to 1948. Royce Hall was named after Josiah Royce, an Amwrican philosopher known as the founder of American idealism.

Like the other original buildings, Royce Hall and Haines Hall was designed by Allison & Allison in the Romanesque Revival style. (Sources: University of California history and "The History of Building Names")
