Class of 1917 Hall

From CUWiki

The Class of 1917 Hall was home to the Transfer Center and located on West Campus. The building was demolished in 2007 as part of the West Campus Housing Initiative.

The following information is being dredged from memories of attending Cornell in the early 70's. It might be in need of correction: The Class of 1917 Hall was one of 6 dormitories, constructed of cinderblocks and bricks, built after WWII to accomodate returnig GIs. They were collectively called the University Halls ("U-Halls")and accomodated mostly freshmen, but also some sophmores and transfer students. The Class of 1917 Hall was a men's dorm in the 1970s. Most of the U-Halls went coed in the early '70s, first by floor and later by alternating rooms.Rumor had it that the buildings were only intended to be temporary.
