Admission Office, Constructed 1965
Text
Located on Jamestown Road near the Campus Center, the William & Mary Admission Office welcomes more than 25,000 people to campus each year. This building serves as the starting point for the thousands of high school students and their families who visit and tour the Williamsburg campus. Student tour guides working through the admission office conduct more than 1,000 campus tours each year. The admission offices were previously housed in Blow Memorial Hall on Richmond Road.
The building, constructed in 1965, housed the university bookstore until that function moved to its current location on the Duke of Gloucester Street in Merchant's Square in 2001. The building was renovated to accommodate the admissions office in 2007.
