 The Office of Residential Life established a new freshmen housing program (The Freshmen Experience) in Jones for the fall of 1989; 107 freshmen were to be housed in Jones, with no upper-level students. Seven Residential Advisors (RAs), as well as a Program Liaison, and Resident Coordinator, were to accompany the students. The purpose of this change was to increase programming in a more focused residential area for freshmen. Renovation during the summer of 1989 was to replace old furniture in the rooms. The new program also allowed freshmen to move to Jones from other dorms on campus, such as [[wiggins_dormitory|Wiggins]], [[park_place_hall|Park Place]] and [[boardwalk_hall|Boardwalk]]. The program, which included a course, University 101, and a judicial dormitory council, received positive feedback and was considered an initial success. In 1990, [[jarvis_hall|Jarvis Hall]] was added to the program, but by the fall of 1991, Jarvis was returned to all-student housing and neighboring [[elton_hall|Elton Hall]] joined Jones as the two primary all-freshmen dormitories.  The Office of Residential Life established a new freshmen housing program (The Freshmen Experience) in Jones for the fall of 1989; 107 freshmen were to be housed in Jones, with no upper-level students.

-On February 17, 2010, a fire broke out on the unoccupied fourth floor of Jones Hall. The fire, ruled arson due to a lit cigarette left on a chair cushion, sent one Campus Safety officer to the hospital due to possible smoke inhalation, and caused the evacuation of all residents from the dorm to a gathering area in the Washington Room in nearby [[mather_hall|Mather Hall]]. The fire was quickly extinguished with the assistance of the [[hartford|Hartford]] Fire Department and the sprinkler system in the building. Students were allowed to return to their rooms within a few hours of evacuation. The Campus Safety officer was later released from the hospital with no lasting effects.   +On February 17, 2010, a fire broke out on the unoccupied fourth floor of Jones Hall.
