One of the University's nine unique schools, Trumbull was initially two unattached quarters structures flanking the old exercise room. At the point when University President James Rowland Angell established the private school framework in 1931, the exercise center was torn down and the quarters associated with another working in the Collegiate Gothic style, shaping the Sterling Quadrangle named for college supporter John W. Sterling. The quadrangle contains the Trumbull feasting lobby, basic room, and library, and another residence wing was developed parallel to the firsts. A Head-of-College's House was likewise developed in the southeast corner of the quadrangle, and its north side is limited by the Sterling Memorial Library. Of the nine schools finished by 1935, Trumbull was the one and only not subsidized and supplied by Edward Harkness.

James Gamble Rogers, planner of eight of Yale's universities, viewed as the residences that would later be consolidated into Trumbull his artful culmination and engraved the initials of the men who chipped away at the undertaking on shield carvings along the outside of the structures. The structures of Trumbull are designed according to King's College, Cambridge. Three separate yards — Alvarez (Main) Court, Potty Court, and Stone Court — elegance Trumbull's inside.
The college picked the principal leaders of the schools to mirror a different scope of controls. President Angell, a therapist, was particularly quick to have a researcher among them. He selected Stanhope Bayne-Jones, a Yale College graduate and Dean of University of Rochester Medical School, to come to Yale as Trumbull's first head.
Since Trumbull was sorted out utilizing existing structures, and on a little territory of area, its understudy rooms were more established and its enhancements were less liberal than those of some of its sister universities. Still, the main gathering of understudies and workforce to involve the school put the space to some imaginative employments. For instance, Clements Fry, spearheading specialist in the Department of University Health, opened an office giving treatment and advising to Yale understudies in a fourth-floor room off Stone Court.
Amid World War II, Yale turned quite a bit of its grounds over to the military for preparing. By 1943 Trumbull was one of just three schools that kept on lodging students (Timothy Dwight and Jonathan Edwards were the others).
In the initial two many years of Yale's private school framework, understudies would apply for passage to their decision of school toward the end of their first year. In spite of the fact that the college looked to give every school a various populace, the universities obtained notorieties. Rookies from rich families with social associations had a tendency to evade Trumbull.As one writer of the college's history noted, "Calhoun and Davenport were unequivocally athletic and 'white shoe,' just architects (it was whispered) congregated in Silliman and Timothy Dwight, and nobody knew who lived in Trumbull."[6] Put all the more magnanimously, Trumbull kept up a notoriety for lodging genuine understudies, a large number of whom were on grants. Some called Trumbull "the treasurer's school." To conquer these social contrasts, the college started doling out most understudies to universities arbitrarily — starting in 1954 toward the end of the understudy's first year, and starting in 1962 upon admission to Yale.
In 1968, Yale President Kingman Brewster declared an arrangement for conceding ladies to Yale and suggested that Trumbull be transformed into lodging for first year recruits women.[7] Brewster held a "stormy" meeting with Trumbull understudies, who might have been compelled to empty their college.[8] in light of the challenge, Brewster changed his arrangement and saved one of the Old Campus residences for ladies. The Trumbull College Council passed a movement "vivaciously underwriting with uncontrolled eagerness" the overhauled proposal.[9]
Helen Brown Nicholas, spouse of previous head of school John Spangler Nicholas, passed on in 1972 and left the school an endowment to reserve working of a house of prayer. Yale engineering teacher Herbert Newman and his understudies planned the house of prayer, changing a current squash court in the Trumbull storm cellar. It was committed in 1974.Frequently utilized as a theater, "Scratch" Chapel stays sought after by Yale understudies of all schools.
The school was widely redesigned amid the 2005–2006 scholastic year, thanks to a limited extent to gifts from the Alvarez family. All apartments and bathrooms were redesigned, and the feasting corridor kitchen and the movement ranges in the cellar got extensive overhauls and modernization.

Trumbull first year recruits are housed in Bingham Hall alongside understudies from Calhoun College. The quarters' area on the southern corner of the Old Campus is site of the College House, Yale's first working in New Haven, and Osborn Hall, crushed in 1926 for Bingham Hall's development. It is the main first year recruit quarters with lift get to and contains a relative writing library on its eighth story.
