History

This three-story dormitory comprises three wings connected at the east to form an "E" shape. The building is faced with brick, except for the ends of the main facade, which are capped at the corners with large three-story bays of patterned ashlar stone that jut out a few feet from the main facade. It was designed by Potter, Tyler, Martin & Roth, who also designed Dascomb Hall and Barrows Hall in 1956, and South Hall in 1963. One of the largest halls on campus, East has the second largest number of singles of all the halls and is home to approximately 185 residents.
