Mildred E. Mudd Hall was the first building constructed on the Harvey Mudd College campus and was named for the wife of Harvey S. Mudd.
This student residence hall was designed by the architectural team of Earl Heitschmidt and Edward Durell Stone and consists of a U-shaped two-story building built around an open courtyard. It was started in the spring of 1957 and was completed in September 1957, just in time for the first entering class. It was constructed using a new technique called “lift slab” created by the Ford J. Twaits Company.
The dormitory houses 88 students in single and double rooms. There is a bathroom between pairs of air-conditioned rooms. The main lounge acts as the centerpiece of the dorm community.
