Gorgas Hall

Gorgas is the largest women's residence hall on campus. In the summer of 1998, Gorgas Hall underwent a thorough refurbishment, complete with new carpeting, lighting, paint, and fixtures. Home to mostly first-year and senior women, Gorgas is known for its spacious rooms and active atmosphere. Gorgas contains three floors, with a mix of single and doubles on each floor. It is located on Tennessee Avenue, next to the soccer field, the School of Theology, and the new Tennessee Williams Performing Arts Center. Gorgas is located about halfway between central campus and the Cross. It is also designated as a smoke-free dormitory.

The average room is 185 square feet, with white walls and plum-varigated carpeting. The windows measure 73 inches wide by 63 inches tall. Each double room contains two desks, two desk chairs, two wall-mounted bookshelves, two dressers, and a full-length mirror. The singles contain one desk and chair for the occupant. Community bathrooms are located on each floor and have private showers, a bath tub, plenty of counter space and outlets.

Gorgas has two kitchens, both located on the first floor. One is a full, eat-in kitchen, and the other is a half-kitchen located next to the common rooom. The common room is very large with comfortable couches, chairs, tables, lamps, television, VCR, and several attractive prints covering the walls.
