| dc.description | MACKINNON HALL - Year of Construction: 1938, $132,000. Architects: Gerow and Conklin. Made possible by a loan of $74,000 and a grant of $58,000 by the Works Progress Administration, MacKinnon Hall originally served as a dormitory for faculty and male students and later as a women's dormitory. Named for Lee MacKinnon in honor of his service as Chief Academic Officer after the deaths of three university presidents, it is the oldest dormitory on campus. A renovation in 2013 enabled the building to remain in use as a residence hall. <br /><br />DOWD-WHITE-NASH QUADRANGLE - Year of Construction: 1953, $1.23 million. Architects: Peterson, Hoffman & Grow. The Dowd-Nash-White Quadrangle consisted of three men's dormitories as a response to the enrollment boom that the University of Toledo experienced following World War II. The halls were named after former UToledo presidents John Dowd (1925-1926), Philip Nash (1933-1947), and Wilbur White (1948-1950). Upon the completion of Parks Tower in 1971, White Hall was converted to University offices for the Mathematics and Economics Departments, and in the late 1970's, Dowd Hall became a graduate dorm. Dowd, Nash, and White Halls were ultimately demolished in 2013 and replaced by the Honors Academic Village. | |
