History of Bailey Hall

The largest building on the Gorham campus is Bailey Hall, which was built in three units. The first was the Science Wing constructed in 1958, which contains classrooms, laboratories, and offices. It was followed in 1961 by the Library Wing which contains classrooms, conference rooms, and faculty offices, as well as the separate two-story Library. The third and final unit, a classroom wing, opened in 1969. Dedication of the building to Dr. Francis L. Bailey, who served as the President of Gorham from 1940 to 1960, was conducted on November 17, 1959. Dr. Bailey's administration saw the name of the institution change from Normal School to State Teacher's College in 1945.
