Rogers Hall Swimming Pool, 1981<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prior to the early 1960s, ODU was a commuter school with no residential housing on campus for students. In September of 1964, Rogers Hall, named in honor of Crawford S. Rogers, a former president of Norfolk Shipbuilding and a member of the\u00a0Advisory Board <\/strong><\/a>created by\u00a0Lewis W. Webb, Jr.<\/strong><\/a>, opened as the first dormitory at Old Dominion. With the growth of enrollment in the 1960s, a second dormitory,\u00a0Gresham Hall<\/strong><\/a>, opened two years later in 1966. The original Rogers Hall contained a swimming pool for the students to enjoy but was drained and paved over by the mid 1980s.<\/p>\n
