Completed in 1969, Jeffery Hall is named after Ralph L. Jeffery, Head of Mathematics and Chair of Graduate Studies from 1943 to 1960.
The building was designed with three floors underground and three floors above ground so that it would not detract from the tower of Grant Hall on the opposite side of University Avenue.
Jeffrey Hall houses the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
