Whiting Hall

Housing Type	Victorian-Era Mansion
Housing for…	Upper-year students
Number of Students	31
Distance from the Center of Campus	1 block
Types of Rooms	Standard Bedroom

Description

Originally constructed as a summer residence for prominent lawyer John Drew, this fully renovated Victorian-era mansion has maintained its charm and boasts beautiful original woodwork and three floors of student rooms. The Whiting family lived at this address until 1924, and the building was subsequently used as a home for a President of the University of Vermont, a UVM dormitory, and a private home before Champlain College purchased the house in 1967 and reconverted it to a residence hall. For several years, Champlain had a chapel in the basement of Whiting Hall, in the current location of the Student Health Center. The space has been renovated with a focus on accessibility and student comfort. The new design provides a common lounge, and a tower was renovated to provide ADA access to all levels. Whiting shares lawn space with McDonald Hall, and it has a large front porch. On warm days, you will find residents studying under trees or playing Frisbee with their McDonald Hall neighbors.

Location

Whiting Hall sits directly on Finney Quad, adjacent to campus on South Willard Street. Students who call this hall home can enjoy the recreational activities and open outdoor space of the green to relax, work, or hang out with friends.
