Bruce Wayne School of Home Economics -- what is it really?
I'm attaching a screen shot from the end of "Marsha's Scheme of Diamonds" of a building said to be the Bruce Wayne School of Home Economics, where Aunt Hilda is teaching a cooking class. Does anyone happen to know what the building REALLY is?

IMDB only lists the Fox Studios location.
Looks like a college building; The USC Campus has more of a Spanish Architecture to it with a few modern buildings while UCLA has more contemporary styled buildings- especially 60s style contemporary. The "mural" or whatever it is at the top of the building should give you a clue. Is that a priest at an altar? Justice walking into a mens room?
By the second season the budget has been reduced, so this is likely stock footage, so really it could be from anywhere. I'm very familiar with the Yale Campus and this doesn't look like anything I remember (Go Bulldogs!), ditto the Harvard Campus. This does look like some of the buildings at MIT (they have some crazy cartoon like buildings there), but there's a reason they chose this one, wherever it is.
More questions than answers but an interesting mystery.

An excuse for Dick Grayson to meet young women?
Sorry, I'm snowed in today and that looked like a BP fastball.

That's at UCLA. The Schoenberg Music Building.
If you ever want a location, check with Ben and I. We're pretty crazy with the stuff and visited more than a few.
Here's a panorama I generated from the episode.
Here's the Schoenberg building after completion in 1955
And here it is now
I didn't see cooking classes being offered.

Home Economics was bigger in the 60s. Good call, Scott.
