Founders Hall

Founders Hall, constructed between 1851-1858, holds the distinction of being the first building on the Heidelberg campus. The Greek Revival architecture was designed by one of Heidelberg’s founding fathers, Jeremiah Good. The three-story brick structure, which originally served as a men’s dormitory, was modernized in 1929-1930 and renovated in 1974. It houses a rehearsal theatre, FM radio station WHEI, WHEI-TV, video taping rooms, costume rooms, a dance studio, classrooms and faculty offices for communication and theatre arts and foreign languages. Interior renovations to Founders were completed in 1992 and early 1993.
