Named for: Ward Chipman (1754-1824), New Brunswick loyalist, Solicitor-General of NB (1784-1808), representative in the NB House of Assembly (1785-93), member of the executive council of NB (1806) and NB Supreme Court judge (1808), President and Commander-in-Chief of NB (1823-24), and one of the original petitioners to establish an academy of arts and sciences in New Brunswick.

Notes: The first academic building on the Tucker Park campus, the Ward Chipman Building originally served as a student centre, administration building, and library.

Klohn Commons in 2011 as the new campus library, the former library became known as the Ward Chipman Building.
