West Hall, first known as the “Western Edifice” and the oldest building on campus, has housed students since its beginning — but it was once the site for nearly all activities at the institution. This video was written by Jane Trask ’17 and Lauren Siano ’16 as part of their summer research project under the guidance of Professor Robert McVaugh (art and art history), and produced by the Ho Tung Visualization Lab.
