Welcome!
Formerly known as J. Walter Wilson, Page-Robinson Hall is home to a myriad of Brown University student services. Together with the Stephen Robert ’62 Campus Center, Page-Robinson represents the realization of key objectives in the Plan for Academic Enrichment: fostering a greater sense of community at Brown and more effectively integrating the academic and co-curricular lives of students.
Building Rename
"In honor of two trailblazing black graduates, Brown will rename the J. Walter Wilson building as Page-Robinson Hall. The six-story facility will be renamed for Inman Edward Page - who, with a classmate, became one of the first two black graduates of Brown in 1877 - and Ethel Tremaine Robinson, who earned her degree in 1905 as the first black woman to graduate from the University." -Christina Paxon
