About

Jordan Hall

  • Constructed: 1912
  • Financed by: Andrew Carnegie
  • Renamed Jordan Hall in Fall 2021 to honor James Jordan ’72, a longtime member of the Board of Trustees whose philanthropy has been at the forefront of the University’s campus beautification efforts.
  • In this building:

Former Alfred University student Melvil Dewey, originator of the Dewey Decimal System that was used by many libraries to classify their collections, and President Boothe Colwell Davis persuaded Andrew Carnegie to fund the construction of the building as a library. When the University's collection outgrew the space, Jordan Hall (then Carnegie Hall) was converted to administrative offices.
