Cushing Hall

Description

Cushing Hall was built in 1872 for sisters Elizabeth and Susan Bigelow. Champlain purchased the house in 1962. It contained classrooms and faculty offices until 2005, when it was converted to a residence hall. The hall has been renovated to preserve its historic charm and add modern features for student comfort. From Cushing, it is just a short walk to the IDX Student Life Center, dining hall, fitness center, and academic buildings.

Location

Located on South Willard Street, directly across from the Campus Bookstore, Cushing Hall is the perfect place for students who want to be in the center of all the action on campus.

Whiting Hall

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.
