Goodes Hall - Smith School of Business

TRANSCRIPT:

History Constructed in 1892, this red-brick structure served for 100 years as Kingston’s largest elementary school. After undergoing extensive renovations and addition, the newly renamed Goodes Hall opened in 2002 as the new home of the School of Business. The facility is named after Mary and Cedric Goodes, parents of benefactor Melvin Goodes (Com ’57).

Fun Facts Though the building is equipped with state-of-the-art information technology systems and architecture, much of the original heritage has been preserved. Original schoolhouse chalkboards and memorabilia can be found on display in the building!
