SPAULDING HALL: A Look Back The original Spaulding Life Science building was completed in 1960. The $2 million, 82,000-square-foot building was named for former New Hampshire Governor Huntley N. Spaulding and his wife, Harriet Spaulding, and sister Marion Spaulding Potter, and housed the college’s biochemistry, bacteriology and zoology departments. It underwent a limited laboratory renovation in 1995.
