More than a century ago, stately Barclay Hall became the College’s first dormitory. Today Tritton and Kim Halls are the new dorms on the block. Lots of other student housing options have been added to the College landscape in between. But what hasn’t changed is just how essential living on campus is to the Haverford experience.

The festive open-air dedication ceremony brought together Haverford presidents past, present and future; the lead donors, and a crowd of supporters to celebrate the College's striking new residence halls.

Haverford College alumnus Michael B. Kim ’85, through his foundation, the MBK Educational Foundation, has pledged $7.5 million toward construction of a new dormitory that will be sited adjacent to, and constructed in tandem with, another new dorm that received separate funding a year ago.
