Clarks Summit University Jackson Hall Clarks Summit University celebrated the 100-year anniversary of Jackson Hall in 2019. The century-old stone building is named after past university president Dr. Paul R. Jackson. The north wing was constructed in 1919 for the Venard Apostolic College known as Maryknoll Junior Seminary. The south wing was completed in 1929. Today, the detailed architecture is the backdrop for library study sessions, faculty offices, classrooms, meeting spaces and the science lab. The bell tower, built in Spanish Romanesque style, stands tall atop Jackson Hall overlooking the scenic campus. This recognizable stone tower has been a symbol of the university since the school moved to the Clarks Summit campus from Johnson City, New York, in 1968. Traditionally, students begin their CSU experience with “Tower Time,” an event with singing and testimonies as worship to God, held at the top level of the tower. Seniors get to bookend their journey with a final “Tower Time” before graduation. Among other
usages, Jackson Hall is also home to the university’s science laboratory where biology majors are frequently found being equipped for a wide range of professions in science and medicine.
