In 1930, plans were presented to the College of William and Mary Board of Visitors for a third women's dormitory to accommodate approximately 150 women in double and single rooms with suites and kitchenettes. College architect [Charles M. Robinson] designed the dormitory, which was completed in 1931 and named in honor of President J.A.C. Chandler. The J.J. McDevitt Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, constructed the building at a cost of $152,000. It opened for use in the summer of 1931 and housed summer school students. The second and third floors of the building were available for sororities to use, as well.
