Building Description:
Was named for the town in Connecticut which was the seat of the Collegiate School until its removal to New Haven in October 1716 and was created from the Memorial Quadrangle, built in 1917 as a dormitory complex, James Gamble Rogers, architect. The Quadrangle was divided in 1933 to become Saybrook and Branford colleges when the College Plan was adopted at Yale. Some dormitories were renovated to provide rooms for Fellows, common rooms, a dining hall, and a Master's House for each college. James Gamble Rogers was the architect, and Day and Klauder served as consulting engineers. Saybrook College is a complex of many different buildings arranged around several courts, filling the southern part of the block bounded by YorkElm, and High streets. The heights of the buildings vary from three to five stories with several suites in tower sections rising to seven stories. The complex serves as student dormitories, but includes a reading room, common rooms, and a dining hall off Saybrook Court and Killing-worth Court See > Memorial Quadrangle. [242 Elm Street]
