Honors College

Originally built in 1968, Pomfret Hall is the largest residence hall on the University of Arkansas campus. Having received a generous donation from the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation, the university intends to renovate the hall to house the most renowned honors college in the nation with regard to function and resources.

The new design will support this endeavor by offering a more modern, attractive, and functional living/ learning community to enhance the ability to attract honors students to campus. Pomfret Honors Quarters should convey the message to prospective students that this is an academic learning environment, focused on student achievement. The facility will be a vehicle for recruitment of the best and brightest students, retain upper level honors students as mentors for younger and improve the building functionally, environmentally and aesthetically.

The renovation will upgrade all building systems, modify shared bathrooms, improve living and sleeping space by replacing built-ins with new furniture, and provide the honors program with more functional support spaces.

Executive architect, WD&D Architects, and design architect, Treanor Architects, have recently completed the design development phase of this project.
