Hodgson Hall
Hodgson Hall
is one of the newest dormitories, renovated in the summer of 1995,
and also one of the older buildings on campus. It was originally
Emerald-Hodgson Hospital, and holds a great deal of history for
the residents of the mountain, as do its companion buildings, Phillips
and Emery, which were also a part of the hospital complex.

Hodgson has
three floors, central heat and air, an elevator, and houses approximately
60 men and women in suites. The walls in the suite are off-white
and the carpeting is a multi deep gray. The windows, for the most
part, measure 37 1/2 by 75 1/2, but some are 49 1/2 by 66 1/2. There
are white mini blinds at all the window. Some of the suites have
efficiency kitchens and living rooms. Each room has a large closet,
dresser, bookcase, bed, and desk for each student, and there are
single and double rooms in each suite.
Commons rooms
are located on each floor with a kitchen that is immediately accessible.
The third floor holds the TV room and has a comfortable roof deck;
the second floor holds the most formal commons room of the three,
with a large table which is used for studying, late-night snacks,
and even dinner parties. The first floor has direct access to the
outside and is ideal for gatherings to grill out, have pancake suppers,
or pumpkin carvings. In addition to the commons rooms, the dorm
also has two study rooms across from the laundry room on the first
floor. Hodgson is handicap accessible. It is a private, quiet dormitory,
equidistant from the Fowler Center and main campus, and reserved
for upperclassmen.
