The faculty and students are getting settled in on the top floor of the recently-renovated building, and really making the space feel like home. But as we look ahead to this next chapter for the English Program, let&#8217;s also take a moment to look back at the history of this storied building.<\/p>\n<p>Britt Hall was first built in 1937 as part of what was then called 小黄导航 Normal School. At the time, the normal school was exclusively a teaching college. Britt was only the second building on campus, after Churchill Hall was built in 1926. However, Britt Hall didn&#8217;t initially go by that name at the time; rather, it was called Memorial Court, and held the school&#8217;s basketball gymnasium. The building would remain in use as a gym until the 1950s, when the McNeal pavilion athletic center\u00a0opened.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-bs3tp5z-eaee9129bc79d2495b48cc88edac2204\">\n.avia-image-container.av-bs3tp5z-eaee9129bc79d2495b48cc88edac2204 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-bs3tp5z-eaee9129bc79d2495b48cc88edac2204 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-bs3tp5z-eaee9129bc79d2495b48cc88edac2204 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-1030x688.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-768x513.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-705x471.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education.jpg\" height=\"801\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/Gymnasium-Southern-Oregon-School-of-Education-705x471.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-83115 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-83115 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Gymnasium 小黄导航 School of Education\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-b8vl03r-f74c8b355e2789cef4cf4c2ec5b8e23e\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-b8vl03r-f74c8b355e2789cef4cf4c2ec5b8e23e .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-b8vl03r-f74c8b355e2789cef4cf4c2ec5b8e23e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured above: Memorial Court, unknown date; 小黄导航 University Archives.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-c03os5j-065021f92320453c7ac8d68496523932\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-c03os5j-065021f92320453c7ac8d68496523932 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-c03os5j-065021f92320453c7ac8d68496523932 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>By then, Memorial Court was due for a new upgrade. A huge renovation was planned for the building, which finished in 1957. The renovation reimagined the McNeal pavilion as the Britt Student Union, or Student Center. One common misconception about the name of this campus building, a misunderstanding that even the Oregon Encyclopedia perpetuates, is that it was named after famous historical nature and portrait photographer, Peter Britt. Britt emigrated from Switzerland to America in 1845, and eventually made his way to southern Oregon in 1852. He spent much of his career photographing nature and people in Jackson County, and his many photographs of Crater Lake helped the landmark in its campaign to be named as a national park in 1902. When Peter Britt passed away in Jacksonville in 1905, he passed on his body of impressive work to his two children, Emil and Amalia &#8220;Mollie&#8221; Britt. Peter Britt&#8217;s name and legacy live on in the famous annual Jacksonville Britt Music festival, but Britt Hall wasn&#8217;t actually named after the photographer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ldf61qj6-ae6af13d9015d97ed67a73302f354365\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ldf61qj6-ae6af13d9015d97ed67a73302f354365 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ldf61qj6-ae6af13d9015d97ed67a73302f354365 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ldf61qj6-ae6af13d9015d97ed67a73302f354365 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait.webp 1024w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait.jpg\" height=\"439\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-Peter-Britt-Portrait-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-83116 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-83116 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ldf62671-e7f9f383e12833ce01d07a157b3debdb\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ldf62671-e7f9f383e12833ce01d07a157b3debdb .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ldf62671-e7f9f383e12833ce01d07a157b3debdb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured above: &#8220;Peter Britt, Portrait,&#8221; unknown date.

Upon her death in 1955, Mollie bequeathed over 2,000 of her father&#8217;s photographs, the family estate, and other gifts to the 小黄导航 College of Education (yes, the school&#8217;s name had changed again by then). So, when the McNeal Pavilion was renamed as the Britt Student Union, it was a way to thank and honor Mollie and her contributions to the school. This was actually written on the front of a &#8220;Britt Student Union&#8221; pamphlet and calendar from 1964, which on its cover states that the building was &#8220;named in honor of Amalia Britt whose gift made it possible for you, the students, to use and enjoy these\u00a0facilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This pamphlet, and other relics of this period of Britt Hall&#8217;s history, are available to see by appointment at the Hannon Library, as part of the 小黄导航 University Archives.

It was also home to the office for the student-run Siskiyou newspaper. A look into the 1961 yearly report on building affairs from then-Britt Student Manager Terrence Tallis provides a bit more insight into the everyday use of the Britt Student Union. The report includes details like how many hours the ballroom and meeting rooms were in use for, how building maintenance could be improved, and more. Groups including various military branches, Boy Scout troops, and a regional foreign language conference all used the facilities to meet. The ballroom in particular was used for Homecoming dances, Sweetheart&#8217;s Balls, Convocations, and band practices and concerts. However, Tallis mentions that there was a bit of poor student conduct after some of these events, including frowned-upon trips to the basement, and messy men&#8217;s bathrooms. He notes that the clubs hosting these events in Britt needed to be reminded of their obligations. Despite these apparently scandalous misuses of the Britt Student Union, a lot of fun and memories were made there.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ldf6gnzg-2e857463ed9cbcb7fc63d2ea8f900bdf\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ldf6gnzg-2e857463ed9cbcb7fc63d2ea8f900bdf img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ldf6gnzg-2e857463ed9cbcb7fc63d2ea8f900bdf .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ldf6gnzg-2e857463ed9cbcb7fc63d2ea8f900bdf av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall.webp 1024w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall.jpg\" height=\"439\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/01\/SOU-History-150-Britt-Hall-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-83118 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-83118 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8zjamdj-8d70847357a14abb984ba3f68edae920\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-8zjamdj-8d70847357a14abb984ba3f68edae920 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-8zjamdj-8d70847357a14abb984ba3f68edae920 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured above: Another view of Britt Hall, unknown date.

In its ballroom days, it hosted The Grateful Dead on a tour in 1968 (and charged a mere $2.50-$3.00 per ticket), screened films in the space, and held successful campus and club celebrations and events. There is unfortunately not as much available research and history on this chapter of the building&#8217;s history. But what we do know is that, eventually, the space became the Britt Hall we know today. Its uses also became more focused around scholarship rather than students&#8217; social lives, as it added classrooms and faculty offices. It received a new roof, and a top-floor remodel of the ballroom (where the English Program resides today), among other smaller projects.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, new funds were received to begin a more crucial renovation of Britt Hall. The renovation would be purely structural, as the curved-roof design, while beloved and recognizable, was particularly susceptible to earthquakes and seismic activity. Departments that occupied Britt moved to other locations on campus throughout 2019, like the Service Center, OHSU nursing, Admissions, and Student Services. The structural changes took a few years to complete, and thousands of current students and recent alumni can recall walking past the hall while it was under construction. However, Britt Hall finished these seismic updates this past fall of 2022, and became home to classrooms, faculty offices for the school of Business, Digital Cinema, and Communications, and our very own English Program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7k9kpwn-1d1d02920333b695bc36350eda6c85be\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-7k9kpwn-1d1d02920333b695bc36350eda6c85be .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-7k9kpwn-1d1d02920333b695bc36350eda6c85be '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">&#8220;We love being the current Britt Hall denizens<\/span>\u2013 being part of all the history behind these walls.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Dr. Margaret Perrow<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-737x8p3-9174a54aadaa61e8f608890861ed2fcf\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-737x8p3-9174a54aadaa61e8f608890861ed2fcf .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-737x8p3-9174a54aadaa61e8f608890861ed2fcf '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>While Britt Hall has an extensive and storied history, its time with the English Program is only getting started.
