Smith Residence Hall

Smith Hall is the epitome of serenity and comfort for first-year students seeking a haven of rest and relaxation. This distinctive four-story residence transcends the ordinary, offering a gaming room equipped with multiple consoles and TVs, a lounge area, and an outdoor courtyard featuring a grill and fireplace—a retreat tailored to cater to the diverse interests of our discerning residents.

Formerly known as Men's Hall, Smith Hall underwent a transformative renaissance in 1977 when it was renamed to honor Charles C. Smith, a visionary alumnus, class of 1887, trustee, and generous benefactor of the college. Smith's substantial, then-anonymous gift in 1929 ensured the construction of Men's Hall, and the renaming in 1977 was a public acknowledgment of his invaluable contribution.

In 2011, Smith Hall embraced modernity with a comprehensive renovation project that not only added a fourth floor to this landmark building but also introduced a host of enhancements. Revel in the newly added lounge area, gaming room, kitchen, computer lab with printing access, and an outdoor courtyard, replete with a fireplace and grill—transforming Smith Hall into a contemporary co-ed residence that balances tradition with innovation.

Smith Hall isn't just a residence; it's an invitation to experience the perfect blend of history and modern comfort.
