The Humanities Quadrangle (HQ), originally the Hall of Graduate Studies (HGS), is an academic quadrangle at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. First opened in 1932, the building was designed as a Collegiate Gothic structure by architect James Gamble Rogers. After serving for 86 years as the home of faculty offices and graduate student housing for the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Hall of Graduate Studies underwent a series of major renovations designed by Annum Architects (formerly Ann Beha Architects)[1] starting in 2018. It reopened as the Humanities Quadrangle in 2021, now serving as the home of 15 academic departments and several humanities programs. With 311 offices, 28 classrooms, and 24 meeting spaces, the Humanities Quadrangle is frequently used by students and faculty.[2]
