Aitchison Hall
Aitchison Hall is the first year student residence hall, located within the center of campus. This hall's location provides students with the opportunity to live directly within the campus environment and provides residents a living community for both learning and social growth. Aitchison Hall has two female floors and two male floors. The floors are separated by a common lounge area. Aitchison Hall was built in 1964 and was dedicated to beloved English professor Anna M. Aitchison and was renovated in 2005.
Cassat Hall
Cassat Hall is one of the twin residence halls located one block south of the main ca
mpus. Cassat Hall is located near Chalmers Field (the football field) and the other athletic fields. The residence hall is co-ed, with one floor dedicated to women and three floors for men. Cassat Hall houses mostly returning undergraduate students, although many first year students reside here as well.
Cassat Hall was built in 1968 and named for David B. Cassat, a successful C.E.O. of Interstate Finance Corporation, active Presbyterian lay leader, and member and chair of the University of Dubuque Board of Directors. The building was financed through government funds and through the Cassat family. The interior of the residence hall underwent major renovation in the summer of 2003.
Donnell Hall is the second of the twin residence halls located one block south of the
main campus. Donnell Hall is located next to Chalmers Field (the football field) and the other athletic fields. The residence hall is co-ed, with one floor dedicated to women and three floors for men. Donnell Hall houses mostly returning undergraduate students, although many first year students reside here as well.
Donnell Hall was built in 1967, financed by government funds and the Donnell family. Donnell Hall was named for A. Douglas Donnell, board member (1940-1978) and chair (1949-1964). Douglas Donnell and David Cassat were close friends, so the proximity of the buildings is appropriate. Like Cassat, the interior of the residence hall underwent major renovations in the summer of 2003.
