Wiggins Dormitory

Wiggins was a student dormitory located at 76 Crescent Street, which contained twenty beds and a mentor's apartment. It was part of the “Crescent Village” which included Frohman-Robb as well as Little Dormitory.

In 1982, Wiggins was named in honor of John Gregory Wiggins, of Pomfret, CT, who created the wood carvings on the pews in the Trinity College Chapel. For his work on the Chapel, the College presented Wiggins with an honorary Master of Arts degree in June 1940.

Wiggins was vacated for a renovation in 1988, but plans were stalled due to cost (over $1 million) for the small building.

The dormitory was demolished in 2013-2014 to make space for the new Crescent Street Townhouses and surface parking.
