1873 – The most storied and first building erected on campus, College Hall symbolizes the ideals and aspirations of the American University of Beirut. Founding President Daniel Bliss consulted on the building’s design with Cyrus Hamlin, President of Robert College in Constantinople who had just overseen the construction of its first buildings. The ground for the main building was broken on November 28, 1871, and William E. Dodge, treasurer of the Board of Trustees, laid the cornerstone on December 7, 1871. Its dominant tower clock never unlit, College Hall is an icon that has stood witness to the University’s history. It was extensively damaged by an explosion on November 8, 1991 and was rebuilt by spring of 1999 and later renovated in 2010. With accommodation of 10,130 m2, it houses administrative offices and departments such as the offices of the President, Provost, Advancement, Comptroller, Registrar, and Admissions, as well as the Human Resources Department and AUB Press.
