Perkins Hall

“

In Perkins, we're more than just dorm mates who live in the same unit, we're a family. I can honestly say I know every single person on my floor and they are some of the most awesome people I have ever met.

”

Built in 1960, Perkins Hall was originally constructed by Bryant College and named Gardner Hall. Brown bought the building in 1969, when Bryant moved to Smithfield, Rhode Island. In 1974, the building was renamed as Perkins Hall in honor of Judge Fred B. Perkins '19. Today, the building houses near entirely first-year students, with the only singles in the building used to house Counselors.
