Scope and Contents of the Materials
This record group was compiled through the years from a number of sources. Many of the files came from physical plant, but others are from different places. The Buildings and Grounds record group includes files related to most buildings owned by Saint Michael’s College during its existence. It also includes files from other properties or structures owned by the college. The record group includes buildings owned by the college for any amount of time, including those built by the college. The record group is arranged alphabetically by building name or property, although buildings located on Fort Ethan Allen appear under that heading. Miketown comprises a single file, although individual building names are listed. Other structures/sites are filed as “other.” The contents of each series vary, although most contain general buildings statistics such as the date it was built and dimensions. Some also include building specifications, blueprints, dedication materials and financial information.

- Series 6: Cashman Hall, 2002-
Cashman Hall was built in 2002 as the first phase in an effort to make housing available for 100% of students. The residence hall, the first built in a significant number of years, was designed to provide suite living, where a number of students share common space yet had single rooms. It was the first of three dormitories built on this plan, the others being named Canterbury and Pontigny. These three buildings replaced a number of small houses that had been used by the college for a number of years. They also changed the “Public face” of the east end of the campus, since they are visible from Route 15. All of the businesses engaged in the project were Vermont businesses. It was designed by Truex Cullins & Partners, Architects. It was named for Ed Cashman ‘58, a former trustee, who contributed significant funds to its construction.
