HALL HISTORY

The building of Woodward Hall in 1955 kicked off a flurry of construction on the Gorham Campus, which lasted through 1970.  Woodward Hall was the first dormitory for men.  It was named for Louis B. Woodward, who taught natural and social sciences at Gorham from 1913 to 1955, and also served as Vice Principal from 1935 to his retirement.
