Saying goodbye to Timken Hall
Ransom Everglades said goodbye to Timken Hall on Nov. 26, providing an emotional end to the round of demolition required to start construction on the new STEM Center. In a two-week period, a pair of hydraulic excavators knocked down three small non-academic buildings and Timken Hall to create room between the Lewis Family Auditorium and Cameron Hall for the new STEM Center and drop-off loop. The groundbreaking for the STEM Center is Dec. 13.
Timken Hall, which opened in 1959, memorialized Henry Timken '26, an influential trustee during a pivotal time in the school's history. Timken assisted with the reopening of the school after World War II; served on the nominating committee that brought in legendary headmaster Pete Cameron; and along with his brothers John Timken '31 and W. Robert Timken '28 offered a critical $75,000 donation in 1946, according to Honor and Excellence: A Century of Ransom Everglades School.
