Severance Hall
Severance Hall was built in 1927 and named for one of its benefactors, Elizabeth Severance Prentiss, a student from 1883 to 1886. It sits on the eastern side of the Tower Complex. Severance sits on top of Severance Green, where students and townspeople alike go sledding in the winter.
