Sage Hall

Sage Hall is a university building at Cornell with Victorian stone walls and multiple floors dedicated to academic programs. Inside, it features an atrium with a glass roof, lecture halls, study areas, and offices that support daily operations.

The building was constructed in 1875 with funding from Henry W. Sage and initially served as a residence hall for women. This demonstrated Cornell's early commitment to providing education equally to all students.

The Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management makes this building a hub for business education with students arriving from around the world. The space continues to shape professionals who carry their experience and networks across different industries and regions.

The building is accessed from the main campus entrances and sits in the center of the academic grounds. Be aware that some areas may have restricted access during class sessions and academic activities.

A renovation in the 1990s converted the open courtyard into a modern enclosed atrium with a glass roof. This transformation preserved the original Gothic Revival details on the exterior walls.
