<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legacy Residence Hall</h2>



<p>Given the title of one of Ohio’s Historical Landmarks, we would like to introduce you to Marble Hall.  After World War II, colleges struggled to house students following the surge in enrollment made possible by the G.I. Bill.  Wilmington College was not an exception to the struggle when enrollment nearly doubled.  On April 13, 1948, Wilmington College President Samuel Marble (see pictured below) rallied students and the community to come together.  That same day, ground was broken, construction started, and Marble Hall was literally being built by the hands of gracious volunteers. In 1998, on the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of construction, the college buried a time capsule at the corner of the building to be opened on the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary!   Marble Hall is now a 73-room co-ed residence hall.</p>
