Local Note
A short film with various scenes of the downtown (Scribner) campus and the Groundbreaking Ceremony, April 27, 1963, on the Woodlawn site of the New (Jonsson) Campus.
Construction of Skidmore College’s “New Campus,” built on a tract of land donated by Trustee J. Erik Jonsson in 1961, and which was once known as “Woodlawn Park,” commenced in 1963 with a new residence quadrangle and a library which followed in 1964. Though the campus was dedicated in May, 1980 as the Jonsson Campus in honor of Margaret and J. Erik Jonsson, the transition from the downtown campus to the new campus ultimately spanned more than four decades, and was not officially finalized until the closure of Moore Hall, a six-story residence hall fondly known as the “Pink Palace,” in 2006.
