Description
Location: Reid Street and the Fox River
Architects: Berners, Schober & Kilp, Green Bay
Cost: $361,362 building + $28,611equipment = $389,973
This three-story hall was completed in 1966 as a residence for 82 women students and given the temporary name of Dorm III. The original plan was to construct another five-story structure on the Fox River site of Dorm III as part of the total residence complex with covered walkways to Mary Minahan McCormick Hall to Lorraine and Madelaine Halls. This concept had to be abandoned when the federal housing program of self-amortizing loans was curtailed.
On August 14, 1973, Dorm III was renamed Gertrude S. Bergstrom Hall in memory of Mrs. James Bergstrom, who died June 25, 1973. Over the years her gifts to the College amounted to nearly $3 million. Portions of her donations constitute a major endowment fund to the College for the support of maintenance in buildings such as the Todd Wehr Library and the Schuldes Sports Center. Along with her sister, Mrs. Margaret Gilbert, and her brothers, Col. John Sensenbrenner and J. Leslie Sensenbrenner, Mrs. Bergstrom was a major contributor to the Frank J. and Margaret Sensenbrenner Memorial Union.
