Gage Hall is in close proximity to the Health Center, Elting Gymnasium, and outdoor tennis courts.
Gage is a 10-month hall open during all scheduled vacations (unless otherwise indicated by the Director of Residence Life) to permit students needing housing an opportunity to remain on campus when other halls are closed.
Gage Hall was named for Kitty Augusta Gage, a teacher of classical and modern languages at New Paltz Normal School from 1886 until her retirement in 1913.
