Shirley Hall was completed in 1962, and was one of several significant construction projects completed during Lyle Farrell’s tenure. He served as Headmaster from 1952 to 1971, and was proud to promote physical improvements to campus, referring to himself as “The Great Builder.” The building was named for William R. Shirley, class of 1916, who drew the architectural lines and donated to the project. Originally, the main floor housed the library and science labs, while the lower level featured Learning skills and the Mathematics department. In 1994, Shirley was significantly remodeled, and now the Science and Social Science departments are on the top floor, with the Mathematics department downstairs.
