Du Bois College House, W.E.B.
One of four Superblock low rises that recall the original scheme of the 1963 master plan for low rise quadrangles, but planned more with an eye toward modern housing projects than traditional academic quadrangles. The shift to brick was intended to link the complex to the surrounding community.
Built in 1971, the Du Bois College House is one of four low-rise student residences in Hamilton Village. These student residences recall the original scheme of the 1963 master plan for low rise quadrangles in a modern vernacular design. Modern upgrades on all floors included bedrooms, bathroom, cabinets, fixtures, equipment and finishes. All flooring was replaced. Common areas were also reconfigured and received new finishes and new furniture was provided.
