More about Higley Hall

Higley Hall is one of architect William Gehron's many buildings on Denison's campus. Built in 1941 of Harvard brick and Bedford limestone in the Georgian Revival style, the building was originally named the Life Science Building and was a gift of William Howard Doane's daughter, Ida. In 1997 the building underwent extensive renovation and modernization and was renamed Higley Hall in recognition of a substantial gift from Beverly and Albert M. Higley, a Denison graduate and trustee whose construction company has been involved with more than 20 buildings on campus.
