+The hall was part of a mid-twentieth century student housing expansion plan which included the new adjacent dormitories of [[smith_hall|Smith Hall]] and Wheaton Hall (now [[trinity_hall|Trinity Hall]]). Jackson Hall was financed through the federal Housing and Home Finance Agency and all three dormitories were built at the same time.

+In 1992, Jackson Hall received a designation as the "Science Dorm," housing students majoring in the sciences. The designation of dorms for "Program Groups" was an initiative of the Office of Residential Life for alternative living arrangements, primarily at the request of students and faculty. The dorm's proximity to the Science Quad was one of the prime reasons for choosing the location.
