In 1916, SMU consisted of just five buildings. Can you imagine such humble beginnings? Now, look around at the sprawling campus, and picture the Heroy Science Hall in its early days. Heroy Hall became part of this growing campus much later. It stands proudly as part of the Science Quad, connected to Fondren Science Building. Heroy Hall houses the Roy M. Huffington Department of Earth Sciences. It’s also home to the Institute for the Study of Earth and Man, as well as the Statistical Science, Anthropology, and Sociology departments. This building’s name honors Reverend Newman Lounsberry Heroy. He was the father of William B. Heroy, Sr., the founder and first director of the Institute for the Study of Earth and Man. Within Heroy Hall’s walls, you’ll find a wealth of knowledge and resources. The Institute for the Study of Earth and Man was established in 1966 thanks to a generous gift from William B. Heroy, Sr. Its purpose is to support research at the intersection of humans, Earth, and the environment, a truly interdisciplinary pursuit. The Anthropology department within Heroy Hall operates several fascinating research laboratories. These include the Geoarchaeology Laboratory, the Material Sciences Laboratory, the Laboratory of Traditional Technology. They also include the Medical Anthropology Laboratory, the Migration Laboratory, the Molecular Anthropology Laboratories, and the Zooarchaeology Laboratory. These labs provide hands-on opportunities for students and faculty to engage in cutting-edge research. Heroy Science Hall represents more than just bricks and mortar. It represents the spirit of inquiry, the pursuit of knowledge. It represents the important connection between humanity and our planet.
