Winants Hall. . Designed in 1890 by architect Van Campen Taylor, a member of the Class of 1867. Winants Hall was Rutgers' first dormitory. It is named for Garret E. Winants, a college trustee and philanthropist who donated $75,000 for its construction. In the late 1940s, the building was converted to administrative offices. In 1990, a century after its construction, Winants Hall was rededicated following a $9.4 million restoration during which unique elements of the original building were restored and reinstalled, including the central staircase, lobby floor, fireplaces, and leaded glass windows.
