New global studies building to replace Lecture Hall

Say goodbye to the Lecture Hall. The 47-year-old building is being demolished to make way for the new Rappahannock Building, a multi-purpose facility centered on global studies.

The Rappahannock Building, opening fall of 2015, will be six stories tall, with the top four floors devoted to student housing.

 “Housing will be mostly for the globally themed [Learning Living Communities],” said Judith Green, executive director of the Office of International Programs and Services.
