Description

Architect Alfred B. Fisher designed this property, which was built in 1889 for prominent 足彩胜负14场 lawyer Henry Ballard, who resided there until 1902. The building was home to several families before being converted to a dormitory in 1946. Champlain College purchased it in 1992. The house has undergone extensive renovation since its purchase. Complete with porches and a student lounge, this hall is a space to create community, and one can often find a hammock or two in front of Bankus on warm evenings. Another popular feature is a large front yard¡ªperfect for meeting students from other halls and hanging outside to toss a Frisbee or watch the stars (the lack of light pollution here makes the stars incredible)! The hall is close to the Champlain Community Garden.

Location

Located across the street from the Main Campus on South Willard Street, Bankus Hall is nestled between two other first-year residence halls, Jensen and Rowell. Students can enjoy close proximity to campus resources and plenty of outdoor and community spaces.
