Roger H. Perry Hall

As it approaches its 150th anniversary, the former residence now known as the Welcome & Admission Center at Roger H. Perry Hall is poised for a dramatic rebirth at the center of Champlain College and Hill Section neighborhood life.

Originally built in 1859, Perry Hall was purchased by Champlain College in 2004 and remained vacant until May of 2009. At that time plans to convert the historic building to a new student "Welcome Center" were unanimously approved by the College's Board of Trustees. This set the stage for a ground-breaking ceremony to begin the long-anticipated restoration of the 251 South Willard St. home.

When completed, Perry Hall will house the College's Admission, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and Advising and Registration Departments as well as the Office of International Education. Work will be complete by mid August, just in time for the arrival of the Class of 2014 on Labor Day weekend.
