Building History

The President of Scripps College, Lara Tiedens, said of Schow Hall in 2018: "The College’s 10th residence hall opened in fall 2016 and was aptly named NEW Hall. Although some may have considered “NEW” to refer to its newness, I can now reveal that it also refers to the initials of its namesake, Nan Elizabeth Walsh Schow. A women’s college graduate and grandmother of a recent Scripps alumna, Marissa Schow ’18, Mrs. Schow was inspired by Scripps’ commitment to the arts and humanities and captivated by the beauty of our campus. Schow Hall will continue to provide an unparalleled residential experience for generations of Scripps students, and we extend our deep gratitude to the Schow family for their generous and ongoing support of the College."
