Carver Hall
The symbol of Bloomsburg University: Carver Hall in 1959.
Carver Hall was the first building to be erected on this campus in 1867. It was originally called Institute Hall, reflecting the fact that at the time of its construction we were a literary institute. In 1927 it was named for Henry Carver, the school's first principal. By 1959 Carver Hall featured an auditorium seating 800 people that had recently been equipped with sound and motion picture viewing equipment as well as a public address system. In addition to the auditorium it is also currently home to the offices of the President and Provost of the University. This particular building, with its white belfry and pillared entrance, creates a picturesque doorway to campus.
