Morgan Hall (1955-present)

Morgan Hall was dedicated on November 12, 1955 as the first single-purpose residence hall built for men in the history of the College. It was dedicated to the memory of James Henry Morgan (1857-1939), College alumnus, faculty member, dean, and president. A substantial portion of the total $600,000 cost was financed with a federal loan of $570,000. The architectural firm of Martin, Stewart, and Noble was responsible for the design.

In 1965, with the opening of the Holland Union Building, the dining hall and kitchens were closed and converted to student living space. Since 1980, Morgan has largely housed freshman men and women. Major renovations were completed during the summer of 2002 and provided the building with a reorientated main entrance, now facing the Mooreland Campus, and an atrium, in addition to enlarged and modernized suites.
