Nicholson Hall
Dedicated in 1972.
Nicholson Hall is part of the Botetourt (pronounced Bot-eh-tot) Complex and houses approximately 80 residents in various double rooms. Due to the small hall size, these communities grow very close.
A communal kitchen, including a washer, dryer, and one sizeable air-conditioned lounge, is located on the first floor; a dedicated laundry room is on the second floor. Third-floor bedrooms each have a window air-conditioning unit. Residents are often found in the social lounges, watching television, playing games or hanging out.
