 Mather Hall is a multipurpose building that houses several campus amenities and activities, including a variety of [[dining_at_trinity|dining]] options for students. It is located at the top of the [[gates_quad|Gates Quad]] between [[hamlin_hall|Hamlin Hall]] and [[elton_hall|Elton Hall]]. The building is a two-story Tudor style brick building, designed to match the styles of other nearby buildings.
-Planning for Mather began in the late 1950s after a strong desire by the College to have a student center. Funding for the construction was a part of the "Program of Progress" campaign started under President [[jacobs_albert_c|Albert Jacobs]]. The campaign's general goal was to raise money for the College in order to build new campus facilities. The main donors for Mather's construction were alumni, trustees, parents, and various [[hartford|Hartford]] organizations. Around $5 million was raised, and the groundbreaking ceremony was held in November 1958. The ceremony happened to fall on Parents' weekend, which was particularly fitting given that the amount parents ended up donating for the project totaled over $274,000, or about 9% more than their goal of $250,000. Construction was completed in 1960.
