Southern Vermont College

History

The history of the College dates back to 1926 when the sisters of St. Joseph established a business school that later became St. Joseph College. In 1974, the College, which no longer has a religious affiliation, was renamed and moved to its present location on the Everett Estate which encompasses 371 acres and provides a spectacular mountain view, complete with a 13-tier stone water cascade and the 27-room limestone Everett Mansion. The Everett Mansion serves as the main administrative building for the College and hosts the library, theatre, art gallery, snack bar, bookstore, and eight classrooms. Other campus buildings include five residence halls, Dining Hall/Student Center, Health Services Office, laundry facility, Field House, and 24-hour Computer Lab.
