Larry D. & Nancy L. Shinn

Shinn Hall houses approximately 130 upper-division residents on three residential floors. Each floor has primarily double occupancy rooms, a shared restroom, a full kitchen, and laundry facilities. The first floor has a shared coffee bar, and the third floor contains a communal study space. The facility provides elevator access to all floors, building wide air-conditioning, and internet services in each room.

Shinn Hall was completed in 2014 and was the highest LEED residence hall in the world. After the competition of construction, more than 89% of the project’s waste was recycled which benefited local communities and reduced the building’s carbon footprint.

Shinn Hall gives a homey feel with patios on each side of the building and a covered porch and lush outdoor green space. The hall is also in great proximity to main campus buildings- a 3-5 minute walk to the Alumni, Woods-Penniman, and Fairchild Buildings. The hall is also just steps away from the College Square, providing easy access to Boone Tavern, the college Visitor Center & Shop, Log House Craft Gallery, and more.

A live in professional staff member is on site at this location to help meet the needs of each resident and promote and participate in the thriving hall community.
