\u201cI take pride in being one of the first to live here\u201d after an extensive renovation, she told students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends gathered in the structure\u2019s main living area for a dedication on Friday.<\/p>\n

A Willard Hall resident assistant, McCotter joined 156 first-year students who moved in at the start of the spring semester in January, but last week\u2019s event, part of a daylong Board of Visitors meeting, makes it official. Generations have made their home at Mary Washington\u2019s oldest residence hall, built in 1911. But McCotter and her charges are among the first to enjoy a new type of turn-of-the-century splendor, where modern touches \u2013 a media room, \u201cteaching\u201d kitchen and transformable spaces \u2013 mingle with prized pieces from the past.<\/p>\n

Architects worked tirelessly to preserve the elegance of the building, which originally housed dining, offices and classrooms, plus a post office, infirmary and gift shop, according to History of Mary Washington College\u00a0<\/em>by Edward Alvey Jr. The $19.3 million renovation salvaged brick walls, maple hardwood floors, ornate iron banisters, molding and trim, and original skylight shafts, along with parts of the building\u2019s open floorplan.<\/p>\n

The fresh look is a \u201ctestament to how committed we are to our future,\u201d UMW President Troy Paino told the crowd, while showing respect for what came before.<\/p>\n

Assistant Dean for Residence Life and Housing Dave Fleming thanked those on hand, including representatives from Train Architects, Newman Architects and Kjellstrom and Lee Construction,\u00a0which handled the project; UMW Capital Outlay Program Director Gary Hobson, who led it; and historic preservation major Sam Biggers \u201916, who provided expertise and advice along the way. The structure\u2019s design was also informed by more than 1,600 student and alumni survey responses.<\/p>\n

Fleming had been in his role for a matter of weeks, he said, when a steam pipe rupture prompted the sudden closure of Willard and hastened its planned renovation. Paino thanked Fleming and his staff for handling the crisis and other recent housing issues with immediacy and care, calling students\u2019 residence hall experiences a \u201ccritically important part of college life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very poignant moment for me,\u201d said BOV Rector Heather Mullins Crislip \u201995, who called the three years she spent in Willard as a Mary Washington undergrad some of the best of her life, fostering friendships that endure today.<\/p>\n

Between a community space with foosball tables and comfy seating, and a sprawling kitchen designed to accommodate culinary presentations, she recounted details of Willard\u2019s past from a recent talk by UMW Professor of Historic Preservation Michael Spencer. The building, named for 19th-century American educator, temperance leader and suffragette Frances Willard, a\u00a0college dean and president, is twins with Virginia Hall, which was completed in 1915 and is now undergoing its own renovation.<\/p>\n

Along with Monroe, Willard and Virginia were the first buildings on the 112-year-old campus of UMW, originally called the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Fredericksburg. A $1.72 million renovation in the late 1970s and a second, much more modest makeover in 2006 preceded Willard\u2019s recent transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Willard, for what you\u2019ve given thousands of alumni and for what you\u2019ll continue to deliver in the future,\u201d Crislip said. \u201cI really love this building.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
