Spencer Hall
(2008) The 47,000-square-foot Spencer Hall addition to Woods Laboratory opened for the Fall 2008 semester, and ushered in a new era for the University’s historic commitment to the sciences. Named for William Spencer, C’41, the facility greatly expanded classrooms and laboratories for environmental science and chemistry, while also creating space for the biochemistry major. The building’s façade blends with the gothic architecture of Sewanee’s main academic quadrangle. The building was designed with environmental concerns in mind, also offering ample opportunity to put science on display inside.
