Dolan Hall Facts

Dolan Hall

This area of campus was purchased in 1989 from the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, through the generosity of Helen and Charles Dolan and the Dolan Family Foundation. It is named in honor of John C. Dolan. The building was constructed in two phases: the west side was finished in 1959, and the east side in 1965. The east side was extensively renovated in 1990. Located on the northeast side of campus, Dolan Hall also provides a home to the Student Health Center, Counseling & Psychological Services, and the Office of Wellness & Prevention.
