History of Pierson Hall

The building is named after Edith Pierson, a former teacher and dean of the Home Economics Department. The four-story hall was built in 1964 and underwent a major refurbishing in the summer of 2003.

Pierson Hall is part of the Grove area group of residence halls. It is located on Student Center Lane directly east of Grove Hall, and adjacent to Mathews and Brown halls.
