About this Location
St. Scholastica Hall opened in the fall of 2005. The name honors St. Scholastica, twin sister of St. Benedict, as well as the graduates of one of the college’s founders, Mount St. Scholastica College. The hall addressed the college’s need to meet expanding enrollment and maintain its residential nature. The facility is four stories tall and contains approximately 36,000 square feet, with room for 141 freshman women. It follows the design standards of other buildings on campus (for example Elizabeth Hall), with a brick exterior and limestone accents. In addition to the student rooms, it includes a “lighthouse” tower.
