Historical NoteReturn to Top

Construction of Senior Hall began in 1916 on the corner of Thatuna and Campus Avenue. Although it was built during the First World War as the YMCA building, it was converted to a men's dormitory which housed 62 students in the summer of 1921. The following year it was changed to a women's dormitory. Senior Hall was torn down about 1938.
