It was designed by architect Arthur D. Baker. It was expanded at the rear in 1960.[2][3]

It was built to serve as a women's dormitory and replaced 1914-built Sparks Hall in that role. It was renamed for Edna E. Work (1881-1950) who served as Dean of Women from 1916 until 1947, and who helped plan and design this building, first named Women's Hall.[2]
