Sage Hall, built in 1923, is the mirror-image of Williams Hall. Before there was a Sage Hall, there was a nice set of clay tennis courts, but alas, they are no more. And now there is Sage, a beautiful Georgian style building by architect Ralph Adams Cram.
Sage is a first-year dorm and with Williams Hall, forms the Frosh Quad. This haven of first-years is comprised of six vertical entries. Each room varies by entry, making for a variety of living quarters--from singles to "intimate doubles" (read small...very small, but cozy...very cozy) joined by a common room. Bathrooms are usually single-sex, and are shared by 4-6 people.
Sage will be nearly adjacent to the new Paresky Student Center, opening Winter 2007, and frosh and their JAs will have their own dining hall at Mission Park (although all students can eat in any dining hall). The Frosh Quad is great on warm days for frisbee, studying at one of the picnic tables, or hanging out in the sun.
