Dobbs

Just by looking at Dobbs, one would never know that it is the oldest residence hall on campus. Built in 1917, Dobbs Hall has undergone several renovations (most recently in 2013) to keep it modern and in pace with newer buildings on campus, but still retains the charm of early 20th century architecture from the high, wood-vaulted ceilings in the building's parlor, to the original (refurbished) glass paned windows on its façade. Dobbs is centrally-located on campus, across from the Dobbs University Center and adjacent to both the P.E. Center and Cox Hall.

Some "green" features of Fevans include room occupancy sensor lights, low-flow shower and sink faucets, and dual-flush toilets that are flushed using recycled rain water.
