The C. F. Menninger Memorial Hospital, East Campus, was composed of three units. The first, East Lodge, was built in 1927. Its companion West Lodge was completed in 1930. On his 90th birthday, July 11, 1952, Dr. C. F. Menninger turned the first spade of soil in the groundbreaking ceremonies for the addition that joined the original Lodges. He died before its opening in May, 1954, and it was so named in his memory.
