Soon after Cobb Hall was
built, the men's dormitories Gates, Blake, and Goodspeed halls were completed under the
direction of Henry Ives Cobb, followed by the women's dormitories Kelly, Foster, and
Beecher halls. This first phase of construction continued for the next nine
years. Today, Cobb's legacy of the central quadrangles is unmatched as a testament to his vision
of a Gothic academic village.
