Gage Hall (1963)

Gage Hall is a residence hall within the Parker complex. The Parker complex is composed of the traditional corridor style hallways with a single sex bathroom shared by all residents of the floor or house which is maintained by the Custodial Staff. Students who live in the corridor style buildings enjoy a lot of activity and interaction with the members of their house. Students may personalize their environment by painting the corridors with a house theme mural. Lounges can be found on each of the floors.

Located in the basement of Gage Hall are two laundry rooms with washers and dryers, a TV lounge, bike rack, and recycling room. On the first floor there is one main study lounge with two computers, vending machines, a microwave oven and two small study lounges. The second and third floors house TV lounges. Cooking facilities are located on the second floor.

The largest residence hall on campus, the residents of Gage Hall are a diverse population known for their active participation in all areas of campus life. Gage Hall is in close proximity of the Health Center, gym, track, outdoor volleyball courts, and tennis courts.

History: Gage Hall was named for Kitty Augusta Gage, a teacher of classical and modern languages at New Paltz Normal (1886-1930). Kitty Gage was known for her wit, intelligence, vigor, and above all, her generosity to students.
