History

Adams Hall was dedicated as a women’s dormitory on October 5, 1963. Authorized in December 1960, the hall was designed by architect Elmer H. Adams. The building is named in recognition of Dr. and Mrs. Rolland Adams and their generous gift that made construction possible. Originally home to 165 female students, Adams Hall also once contained the College Guest Suite, which was furnished and decorated through the support of the Mary Dickinson Club. The building began serving as a residence hall for both men and women in 1974, and has housed both upperclassmen and first-year students over the years.
