Washington Hall

Built in 1928. Washington Hall is the home of the Departments of Anthropology and Modern Languages. The Department of Anthropology and its museum are located on the lower level of Washington Hall. Anthropology students have the opportunity to participate in archaeological digs in Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. The upper floors of Washington Hall house the Department of Modern Languages. William & Mary had the first Department of Modern Languages in the country, and it is the largest Department of Modern Languages of any college in Virginia. Foreign languages offered include Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Russian. The Classical Studies Department, housed in Morton Hall, also offers classes in Greek, Hebrew, and Latin.
