The front entrance to West Quadrangle faces Thompson Street. West Quad was originally built to provide room and board for male students, as well as to serve as an environment supportive of personal, social, and academic growth. L. Worcester photo west quadran by Matthew Dunne West Quadrangle was one of the oldest and most unique dorms on campus. Providing housing for over sixty years, it was home to a large portion of the current and past University community. In 1939, West Quadrangle was built at a cost of a mere $1.8 million. Today West Quad consisted of nine different houses: Adams, Rumsey, Chicago, Lloyd, Michigan, Wenley, Williams, Winchell and Cambridge. However, the first house to be completed was Allen-Rumsey House, named after the co-founders of Ann Arbor. Shortly upon the completion of Rumsey house, the University Regents built the rest of West Quad. Cambridge House, a special living community within West Quad, was different in that it was originally the Michigan Union Hotel, converted into University housing in 1979. Cambridge House generally housed upper-class and graduate students, but this year some freshmen were placed there due to the overwhelming demand for housing by incoming students. West Quad was one of two all- male dormitories on campus but became co-ed in 1969. However, only Williams House was co-ed by room, unlike many of the other campus dormitories. All of the remaining houses were co-ed by hall. Structurally West Quad was unique from the other University dorms as it was designed to be completely fireproof. In doing so, the only connection between each of the nine houses was located on the ground level, which often made getting around through West Quad quite a confusing and lengthy process. However, with two courtyards, residents were able to directly enter each house without the hassle of having to walk through the maze-like interior. Unlike most of the other dorms on campus, the majority of West Quad residents were not incoming freshman. Only 45-percent of students living in West Quad were actually freshman. The remaining 55-percent of the occupants were mainly sophomores, but included upper-class students as well.
