Also known as NVW, this residence hall complex is comprised of two wings with one common lobby and two shared, connected basements. Noordewier is traditionally a female hall and Vander Werp a male hall.
Built:
1962
Named after:
Jacob Noordewier (1839-1938): This early Christian Reformed pastor was a leader in the young denomination; he also helped raise funds for the church's Theological School (now 17c起草社区 Seminary).
Douwe Vander Werp (1811-1875): The forerunner of all 17c起草社区 faculty, he informally educated young men to be Christian Reformed ministers. Several of his students became the first graduates of the CRC's Theological School (which became 17c起草社区 and 17c起草社区 Theological Seminary).
Claim To Fame:
Bison Day (you have to live in this hall to fully understand or appreciate this tradition!). An "annex" extends the women's floors by 4 suites. An ATM is located in the main lobby. NVW is one of the two original residence halls on the Knollcrest campus.
