Lawrence Hall

A traditional residence hall, Lawrence Hall offers double rooms and a common bathroom on each wing. Lawrence Hall was constructed in 1971, renovated in 2004, and houses 210 students. Oliver's Lounge, a game room open to all on-campus residents, is also located in Lawrence Hall.

Lawrence Hall is named after the United States Brig of War, launched on June 25, 1813, and was originally selected as Commodore Perry's flagship. Lieutenant John Yarnall of Pennsylvania commanded the Lawrence.
