New Hall
The placement of this women’s residence hall prohibited further development of a women’s U-shaped dormitory complex as outlined by the Carsley-Gilbert campus master plan of the previous decade. Architects H. E. Kirkemo of Missoula and J. Van Teylingen of Great Falls designed the building, completed in 1939, in the Renaissance Revival-inspired style outlined by the older plan. Yet the architects were not to be bound by Renaissance Revival. Liberal modern touches such as a towered entryway and asymmetrically placed windows deny emphasis of the older style, and suggest the subtle encroachment of Art Deco ideas. The former women’s residence, renamed Turner Hall, now houses offices.
From the NRHP Plaque
Describe the area and history:
There was originally a plan to create large "U" shaped dormitories including Brantly and Corbin Halls, but the placement of this building in 1939 put an end to that plan. This hall is just to the northwest of The Oval and set back from it somewhat, but still part of the first tier of buildings surrounding it.
