Alumni: Rovere
Shafer and Rovere are named for The Reverend Frederick A. Shafer ’37 and Richard Rovere ’37. The two halls house 19 students each, and are connected by a balcony.
Shafer and Rovere are among the The Alumni Houses, a collection of five residence halls south of the Campus Center that opened in 1989. The Alumni Houses were designed by James Polshek and Partners in 1987 to mimic the living patterns of the four residences of Stone Row while complementing the visual style of Tewksbury Hall. These four adjacent residence halls are named in honor of alumni Richard Rovere ’37, William Rueger ’40, Reverend Frederick A. Shafer ’37, and John H. Steinway ’39. The fifth Alumni House, Honey House, is a free-standing two-floor building west of Rueger. Each residence hall has an accessible bathroom on the first floor.
