History:
Named in honor of Mary Butler Markley, a distinguished
faculty widow who had been active in alumnae affairs, Mary Markley Hall
was completed in 1959 at a cost of $6.1 million. Originally designed
to provide housing and dining for approximately 1000 women, Markley Hall's
overall layout embodies simplistic and routine arrangements - most resident
rooms are doubles. In 1964, Markley Hall became co-educational.
