Simmons Hall at The Linsly School - Wheeling, WV

The Philadelphia Commercial Team is proud to spotlight Simmons Hall at The Linsly School in Wheeling, West Virginia, a new residence hall designed to provide modern housing for the school's boarding students.

Founded in 1814 by Noah Linsly, The Linsly School is an independent, coeducational college-preparatory day and boarding school serving students in grades 5–12. Located in Wheeling, Linsly describes itself as the oldest preparatory school west of the Alleghenies.

Simmons Hall officially opened for the 2026–27 school year, replacing the aging Weiss Hall, which had housed boarding students since 1958. The approximately 19,000-square-foot, two-story residence hall includes 24 double-occupancy rooms with space for 48 students, three faculty residences, two student lounges, a warming kitchen, laundry facilities and an outdoor gathering area.

For this project, Pella Impervia single-hung and direct set windows were selected for the new residence hall. Built with durable fiberglass, Pella Impervia windows provide lasting performance and are designed to withstand the demands of a busy educational environment.

The combination of single-hung and direct set windows brings natural light into the residence hall while complementing the building's modern design. The windows provide a durable, energy-efficient solution that supports the comfort and functionality of the new student living spaces.

Simmons Hall is part of The Linsly School's Forward Together capital campaign and represents an important investment in the school's boarding program. The new facility provides updated residential spaces for students and faculty while supporting Linsly's continued growth as a day and boarding school.

We are proud to partner with POH+W Architects as the architect and Colaianni Construction, Inc. as the contractor on this project, helping bring a new residential space to The Linsly School and its students.

Located at The Linsly School in Wheeling, West Virginia, Simmons Hall provides a modern residence for students while supporting the school's long-standing tradition of educational excellence.
