Antioch College to re-dedicate historic South Hall
Antioch College will take the next step toward re-opening the newly independent college with a ceremony Thursday, Jan. 14, to re-dedicate South Hall.
South Hall is one of three surviving, original historic buildings on the Yellow Springs campus. It will serve as the headquarters for the new Antioch College, according to college officials.
The 6 p.m. ceremony will feature a ribbon cutting, followed by a presentation by Scott Sanders, college archivist, and John Feinberg, architectural conservator and preservation planner.
Sanders and Feinberg will trace the architectural history and development of the Antioch College campus, using campus maps and historic photographs from the college archives. They also will give a report about current and future projects to preserve Antioch’s historical physical plant and campus integrity.
Antioch College in Yellow Springs became a new, independent college Sept. 4, 2009, in a ceremony that transferred its historic campus and other assets from Antioch University.
Plans call for enrolling a first-year class of about 120 students in fall 2011. Total enrollment will be about 600 students, according to college officials.
Founded in 1852, Antioch College closed in June 2008 because of declining enrollment and other issues.
