HISTORY
Morgan Hall was dedicated on November 12, 1955, as the first single-purpose residence hall built for men in the history of the college. It was dedicated to the memory of James Henry Morgan (1857-1939), college alumnus, faculty member, dean and president. In 1965, with the opening of the Holland Union Building, the dining hall and kitchens were closed and converted to student living space. Major renovations were completed during the summer of 2002 and provided the building with a reorientated main entrance, now facing the Mooreland campus, and an atrium in addition to enlarged and modernized suites.
