Originally built in 1898 and rebuilt in 2001 following a fire, Fayerweather houses a multitude of administrative offices: Admissions, Financial Aid, Business, Registrar, Marketing & Communications, Information Technology, Human Resources, Archives, the Academic Dean and the President of the College. It also is home to the Division of Health Sciences and Outdoor Studies.
