Description

The original part of the house was built in 1893 for Samuel Emerson, a University of Vermont professor, and a modern wing was added to the south side of the building in 1962. Champlain College acquired the house in 1990 and completed extensive renovations. This stately brick building is appreciated for its many unique rooms and boasts a large lounge, which can be used for practicing and playing musical instruments, watching movies, or engaging in one of many frequent social or educational residence hall programs. Students who live here get to enjoy a big common space and the largest lawn on campus. The hall is ideal for games and social activities. Summit Hall is open during all school-year breaks, making it a perfect home for international students or students who want to be on campus during vacations.

Location

Summit Hall is located in the heart of the Burlington Hill Section, close to the Miller Information Commons (aka the library) and the Main Campus. Students can enjoy the largest lawn on campus at this 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.
