Barrett Hall

Dedicated in 1927.

Barrett Hall's residents live on three floors divided into two wings, with approximately 170 residents in doubles and a limited number of singles. The large portico in the back of the building provides an excellent location for hall and building events and activities.

The first floor hosts two large lounges where residents often study, talk or watch television. A Resident Assistant (RA) resides on each wing of the second and third floors, while one RA serves the first floor.
