History
Completed in 1954, Spong Hall was previously known as the Science Building and housed the Department of Biology, Department of Chemistry, Department of Physics, and the Department of Engineering. Situated next to the Administration Building, now Alfred B. Rollins, Jr. Hall, the Science Building also included a snack bar, cafeteria, and the bookstore. The building was renamed Spong Hall in 1996 in honor of Old Dominion Interim President William B. Spong, Jr.
