Historical NoteReturn to Top

Construction of Sue Lombard Hall, on the campus of Central Washington University, began in 1925 and was completed in December of 1926. The women’s dormitory was named after Sue Lombard Horsely, who had been a member of the school’s Board of Trustees from 1915 to 1928. In 2004, a major renovation project was initiated that modernized the building. The project was completed in October of 2005. Currently, the dorm houses honors students in education, music, and natural sciences.
