The Class of 2022 arrive on Castle Point in the midst of a historic campus revitalization. Along with newly renovated classrooms and labs, building projects to be completed within a year or two include a new 89,950-square-foot academic building and a student housing and university center. The current campus expansion echoes an era of rapid growth that occurred a century ago: Alexander Crombie Humphreys, the second president of Stevens, left quite a legacy at Stevens. His administration was responsible for the construction of Walker Gym (1916), the Morton Lab (1906) and the purchase of additional land acreage and buildings from the Stevens family, including Castle Stevens (1910), which became the first residence hall on campus. Dr. Humphreys is pictured shoveling the first mound of dirt to start the project of digging and grazing the new athletic field on campus in 1920. A new fall exhibit in the S.C. Williams Library offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and career of Humphreys.
