No other College House has Hill's sweeping courtyard, fountain, bustling dining hall, intimate shutters, and stunning artwork entitled "The Apotheosis of Franklin" (1926) by N.C. Wyeth.
Hill's entrance "drawbridge" was envisioned by the architect as a way to secure the campus's first dorm for women. Now a home for Penn undergrads of every gender and academic pursuit, it also provides a place to relax before joining the active life of the House.
Hill College House was closed from for the 2016-17 academic year so it could receive an $80 million renovation. With fresh student rooms, public gathering and study spaces, and now air conditioning throughout, Hill is ready to continue its history of creating great Penn communities.
