Willis Hall

Dedicated in 1935.

In this small, close community, Willis Hall's approximately 40 residents live on three floors, with a hall bath on each floor. 

The communal kitchen, laundry room and two lounges are on the first floor. Willis has four rooms that share a bathroom on the second floor, often referred to as "the Tower," separated from the rest of the hall. These rooms provide an opportunity to build an intimate community and still be able to interact with the rest of the building.

Brick dorm building with two entrances, windows and a patio.
