History
Originally named "Convertible
Classroom Building" (CCB), it was erected rapidly in the
summer of 1985 to accommodate a classroom shortage created by
the new core curriculum adopted the previous year. During the
first year of operation, the first floor contained classrooms,
while the second floor provided student residences. With the opening
of the Tisch Learning Center the following year, CCB was adapted
for its present occupants.
In 1990, the building was dedicated
to F. William Harder, trustee, donor, and parent of two Skidmore
students. He established Skidmore's first two endowed chairs and
led the way in providing scholarship support for minority students.
A shrewd financial planner, he played a critical role in helping
guide the College through the move to the new campus and onto
a solid financial footing.
