The French Empire-style building was designed in 1877 by local architect Alfred Benjamin Fisher for Civil War hero Brevet Major General William Wells, who is commemorated with a statue in Burlington’s Battery Park. After the war, Wells expanded his father’s pharmaceutical business into a multimillion-dollar company. Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson, Wells’s son-in-law, successfully completed the first cross-country trip across the United States in an automobile in 1903. Original and distinctive features of this hall include fireplaces and ornate woodwork. Students can enjoy marble indoor and outdoor social spaces, and a gazebo for relaxing and socializing.

The Victorian residence was originally built by Alfred B. Fisher for Charles R. and Ella Hayward. Most rooms in this Victorian mansion have large windows, bathing the building with lots of natural light. The Haywards’s elegant residence contains Italianate and Queen Anne-style design elements and still retains many of its Victorian features, including bay windows, pocket doors, a main staircase, and a cupola. The ornate carved stone fireplaces, entry flooring, and wall accents were likely sourced from the Hayward marble business, the Burlington Manufacturing Company. This hall was renovated in 2023 to provide ADA access to the ground floor, updated kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms, an updated living room, and AC/ventilation throughout. 371 Main also has a large lawn, making it an ideal spot for people looking to kick a soccer ball around or just enjoy the Vermont sunshine.

Originally constructed in 1873, Bader Hall was home to Edward Lyman, a Burlington business owner, his wife, Minerva, and their daughter, also named Minerva (Minnie). Minnie and her husband Robert Roberts inherited the house and lived there while Roberts served as Mayor of Burlington. After Champlain College bought the property in 1960, it served as an administration building before becoming a residence hall. The hall has been fully renovated, creating an inviting student experience while carefully honoring the elegant architectural features, such as restored millwork, doorways, and lighting fixtures. The hall has been outfitted with geothermal heating and cooling to support Champlain’s commitment to sustainability. Bader neighbors the Center for Communication & Creative Media (CCM), the IDX Student Life Center, and is just a short walk away from other academic buildings.
Conveniently located in the central campus at the corner of Maple and South Willard streets, Bader Hall boasts beautiful west-facing views of Lake Champlain for students to enjoy.

Architect Alfred B. Fisher designed this property, which was built in 1889 for prominent Burlington 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—perfect 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.
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.

The famous Champlain tower room |
Jensen Hall was designed and built in 1888 by father and son Alfred B. and Clellan Fisher for William Loomis. Of its several owners, Walter Gates, City Editor of The Burlington Free Press, lived there from 1904 to 1938. The hall’s two-level “tower room” is one of Champlain’s best-known architectural features. Jensen is located beside Bankus and Rowell, two other Champlain first-year residence halls, which all have front yards for outdoor activities. This trio offers the chance to build relationships with students both in and outside of the hall. In addition, students are right next to other campus resources, such as the Champlain Community Garden and Champ Support. There are many stories and legends about this house, including a claim that the house is haunted by the ghost of a sea captain who was one of the early owners and whose wife liked to climb into the tower and watch for his ship to sail into Burlington harbor. Note: There is no evidence that this story, or the resulting ghost, is true.
Sitting in the Burlington Hill Section right across from the Main Campus, Jensen Hall is located beside two other Champlain first-year residence halls. This hall is a great spot for students who want to enjoy the Burlington community while still being close to campus.

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.
