De La Roche was built in 1933 on the fire damaged remains of Lynch Hall. It is on the site of the College Building which opened in 1901. After a fire in 1908, it was rebuilt and renamed Lynch Hall. The building was named for Fr. Joseph de La Roche d' Allion, OFM, a Franciscan friar who was a missionary in Canada. De La Roche houses the University's science program. The exterior was built with red brick and a red Spanish tile roof was added as well. The William F. Walsh Science Center connects to the rear of De la Roche through the original front entrance.
