The new building, Founders Hall, will be a 28,600-square-foot facility in the brick classical revival style consistent with the campus. It will replace the Early-Fielding building and house the university’s offices of admissions and financial aid, the Johnson Program in Leadership and Integrity, as well as provide space for small conferences, alumni programs, and major university events

Sally Stone Richmond, vice president for admissions and financial aid, expressed her excitement about the new building, saying, “Founders Hall will symbolize access to a Washington and Lee education, offering a space as welcoming and intentional as the community it introduces.”

She added, “Every journey at W&L begins with a sense of possibility. Founders Hall will give that feeling a home, creating a space where our values are put into practice—where access, integrity, and opportunity shape the first moments of a lifelong connection. With matching support from the W&L community, we will create not just a building but an invitation to join a community defined by purpose.”
