Built in 1893, Chitwood is the youngest of the three buildings that make up Woodburn Circle. Originally named Science Hall, it was the center of scientific education and research. The building is now home to the History Department and includes four general purpose classrooms and a student resource room on the ground level that is a gathering place for history student clubs and organizations.
