Orr Hall women’s dorm (now Weingart Center for the Liberal Arts)
Named for his wife Bertha Harton Orr, trustee William Meade Orr funded this much-needed women’s residence hall in 1925 — the first on campus. Landscaping and a full garden would soon follow. In 1986, after withstanding 60 years of seismic shocks, Orr Hall underwent a major renovation made possible by the Weingart Foundation. The space now houses the hall for the study of fine arts with gallery and studio space, classrooms and faculty offices.
