Where Are We Located

The Spanish and Hispanic Department is located in Smith Hall, which was built in 1907 across the street from Coxe Hall and wasSmith Hall designed in similar Jacobean style. It was the first building constructed with William Smith's funds on the William Smith campus but it also is the only building that has always been shared by both Colleges. It was used for biology and psychology classes, though originally male and female students were taught separately.

In Smith Hall, and later in Williams Hall, the Jacobean style was used because it gave a somewhat collegiate Gothic effect, but it did not require the buttresses, arched windows, leaded glass panes, and other details which made real Gothic construction so expensive for a college with modest means.

A huge renovation of Smith Hall was completed in 1992. The refurbished space houses the William Smith and Hobart Deans' Offices and the language laboratories.
