Newcomb Hall is a distinguished and iconic edifice that stands as a pillar of the uptown campus. The building was designed by James Gamble Rogers in 1918. Rogers designed the master plan of the Newcomb College Campus, with Newcomb Hall at the center. Built as the academic and administrative home of Newcomb College during WWI, it has served our community in numerous iterations for over 100 years.
Given its numerous changes throughout the years, a full-scale renovation is in order. The vision for the renovation of Newcomb Hall takes James Gamble Rogers’ light-filled original conception, carved up over the intervening century, and reimagines it around the principles of interdisciplinary synergies.
It houses the Administrative offices for the School of Liberal Arts, the departments of Gender Studies, Philosophy, Communication, Sociology, and all foreign languages, including a state-of-the-art language laboratory on the fourth floor.
