Andrews Hall

Robert Andrews Hall of Fine Arts, located at 605 Jamestown Road, is the home to the Department of Art & Art History. It was added to the rear of Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall, officially opening on Charter Day 1967.

Andrews Hall houses the Andrew Gallery, highlighting works of fine art created by students, new faculty, and invited artists. Here, visitors can admire paintings, ceramics, sculptures, architectural models, photographs, and other artistic disciplines.

Andrews Hall’s namesake - Reverend Robert Andrews - was appointed the first Professor of Fine Arts in the nation when he was named a Professor of “Moral Philosophy, the Law of Nature and of Nations, and of Fine Arts” in 1779 (Duel, 1966).
