Jarvis Hall (Summit Campus)*
* Disambiguate: Jarvis Hall (Original Campus)
Designed by William Burges and Francis Kimball, construction on Jarvis Hall began on July 1, 1875. Along with Seabury Hall and Northam Towers, Jarvis Hall formed the center of the Long Walk on the new campus located on a tract of land called Rocky Ridge. Jarvis was designed to contain student dormitories and faculty apartments.
Construction was completed, and Jarvis was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the fall semester in 1878.
Jarvis Hall was renovated and restored as part of the $32.9 million dollar Long Walk renovation and restoration project begun on May 21, 2007 and completed August 28, 2008. Extensive exterior and interior work was completed, including: removal of and/or repair of cast iron and lead windows, cleaning of the brownstone exterior, a new slate roof with 123,000 tiles, returning the room suites to their original layout, as well as mechanical and electrical repairs and upgrades.
