Per the college website (link below), Louis H. Sullivan, a famous architect at the start of the 20th century, was hired to design Virginia Hall. It was a women's dormitory - and first on campus to modern amennities such as baths, fire escapes, and furnace heat. It also contained the home economics department, a dining hall, a girl's gymnasium, parlors, reception rooms, and an art studio in addition to the student rooms (which at the time rented for 50 cents a week).
It now provides space for classrooms, Graduate and Professional Studies Program offices, Admissions and Financial Aid offices, registrar's office, faculty offices, and two computer labs.
