Hardy Hall
Text
Originally built as Jamestown North, Hardy Hall is located at 700A Landrum Dr. It was constructed alongside Lemon Hall (Jamestown North) in 2006 at the cost of $29 million. This project added 128,000 square feet of new living space for 380 students - 200 in Hardy Hall. Within the residence are reading rooms, game rooms, and lounges.
In April 2016, the Board of Visitors voted unanimously to rename Jamestown North Hardy Hall in honor of the late Dr. Carroll FS Hardy, a former Associate Vice President of Student Affairs. She also founded STEP, a program to help underrepresented high school seniors develop math, writing, and study skills. She also established the Hulon Willis Foundation for African American students and alumni, worked to increase diversity of William & Mary's student body through six summer enrichment programs for students in grades 8 to 12, and helped create and support 15 multicultural student organizations at William & Mary.
This renaming made Lemon and Hardy Halls the first buildings on campus named for people of color.
