Several academic programs within the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences have new homes beginning with the Fall 2024 semester.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology, the Department of Communication Studies, the School of Social Work and the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies are now housed in the newly renovated Field Hall.
Field Hall, previously the home of the John Chambers College of Business and Economics, is named in honor of the football stadium that once stood next to Woodburn Circle.
The building opened for business last week and features newly renovated spaces. It contains multiple classrooms and lecture halls, an anthropology lab space, administrative and faculty offices, graduate student offices, conference rooms and several seating areas for students to gather and work.
In addition to Eberly programs, Field Hall houses the WVU Advance Center and the Women’s Resource Center.
Eberly College’s Department of Philosophy, the Religious Studies Program and Multidisciplinary Studies Programs have relocated from Arnold Hall. These programs have joined the programs for World Languages and Native American Studies on the fourth floor of Hodges Hall.
The Leadership Studies Program has also relocated from Arnold Hall to Woodburn Hall, joining the Department of Political Science and the International Studies Program on the third floor.
