Outside the four-story building, clad in local marble, you’ll find the Frisbee Dog, a bronze statue of a dog leaping to catch a Frisbee. The Patrick Villiers Farrow statue celebrates the story of five alumni who claim to be the first to throw and catch a pie tin like a disc.
While the outside celebrates the light revelry of life at Midd, the interior is home to academic debate, pursuits, and sometimes unanswerable questions. The building houses the departments of religion, sociology and anthropology, and political science, as well as classrooms and offices for economics, English and American literatures, and history.
Recent renovation projects have brought Munroe Hall, built in 1941, into the 21st century. The renovations include new windows, heating and cooling systems, and accessibility features to make the building accessible to all students.
If you ever find yourself in Munroe in a spirited back-and-forth debate, remember that the building sits atop the campus’s old tennis courts.
