Kline Tower is a skyscraper in New Haven, Connecticut. Formerly Kline Biology Tower, this building is currently the tallest on the Yale University campus and the sixth-tallest building in New Haven. It was the tallest building in the city from 1966 to 1969, and was designed by Philip Johnson, who also designed the nearbyâÂÂand architecturally relatedâÂÂKline Geology and Chemistry Laboratories.
The building was previously home to the Yale Department of Biology. On September 22, 2023, the building was rededicated as Kline Tower, with âÂÂBiologyâ no longer in its name. It now houses the Yale departments of Astronomy, Mathematics, and Statistics and Data Science, as well as part of the department of Physics and the Yale Institute for Foundations of Data Science (FDS). The department of Biology, which formerly was in the building and was reflected in its previous name (Kline Biology Tower), is now housed nearby in YaleâÂÂs new Science Building.
