Von Cramm Cooperative Hall

Von Cramm Hall is a unique student-operated residence located on the West Campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Established in 1956 as a memorial to Friedrich Sigismund von Cramm, a WWII soldier, the hall originally housed upperclassmen and has evolved into a self-governing cooperative that welcomes both men and women. With a focus on community living, residents share responsibilities for upkeep and meal preparation, making it a distinctive aspect of campus life. Visitors and researchers may find interest in its historical significance and cooperative model.
