Re: The Nott Union College

The 16-sided Nott Memorial, one of America's most dramatic High Victorian buildings, is the centrepiece of the Union College campus. Its building is dedicated to Eliphalet Nott, president of Union College and major leader of American education, whose many innovations included a scientific curriculum and the first introduction of engineering at a liberal arts college.


The Structure was conceived by President Nott in consultation with the French architect Joseph Ramée, who created the master plan for Union's campus. Construction finally began on the building in 1858, based on designs by Edward Tuckerman Potter, grandson of President Nott.


It is 89 feet in diameter and capped with a ribbed dome. The dome is sprinkled with 709 small colored glass windows, or “illuminators.” Girding the lower portion of the dome is a band of red slates bearing a modified Hebrew inscription from the Talmud.

It underwent extensive renovation from 1993-1995 in times for the College's 1995 bicentennial celebration. Improved climate control, audio systems, an elevator and better accessibility helped turn it into a magnificent space for conferences, lectures, exhibitions, and study.


Today, the Nott Memorial is a national historic landmark and a beloved symbol for Union College.


Timeline:

1813
The central "round building" appears in Joseph Ramée plans for the new Union campus on Nistiquana Hill outside of Schenectady.


1858
Forty-five years after the first building goes up on the new campus construction begins on Alumni or Graduates' Hall, the early name for the Nott Memorial.


1869
Following the Civil War students stage a mock burial of the trustees for their failure to continue construction.


1902
Andrew Carnegie pledges $40,000 to renovate the building.


1904
On the centennial of Eliphalet Nott's inauguration as Union's president, the College dedicates the building in his honor. For nearly 60 years the building is the College library.


1962-63
Schaffer Library opens and the theater and College Bookstore move into the Nott Memorial.


1993
Work begins on the restoration of the Nott Memorial.


1995
The Nott Memorial, fully restored, is dedicated on February 25, 1995—the 200th anniversary of the founding of the College.
