Grace Covell Hall

IMG_2371.jpg

This project features Grace Covell Hall, a residence and dining hall located on 720 Presidents Drive on the Stockton campus of University of the Pacific. Funded by Grace Covell, a notable member of Pacific's Board of Trustees, the women's residence hall was renamed and rebuilt in her name due to the students' discontent on the building's lack of individuality. She was also responsible for underwriting a large portion of the $1,575,000 structure’s cost, which was usually managed by the Home Finance Agency of the federal government.
