Burnam Hall
Burnam Hall is named in honor of Judge Anthony Rollins Burnam (1846-1919),
state senator, court of appeals justice, and prominent resident of Richmond,
who influenced the decision to locate one of the state's normal schools in
Richmond. Dedicated in 1920, the hall contains larger rooms than more recent
resident halls. The college cafeteria was in its raised basement until 1940.
Burnam Hall is an air-conditioned four-story building housing 275 women.
Centrally located, Burnam provides the student with a suite with an adjoining
semi-private bath or a room served by a community bath. Room furnishings allow
for various arrangements. Featured are study rooms, a 24 hour quiet floor,
and a non smoking floor.
