Spalding Hall

Competition, pride, and identity are three ways to describe Spalding Hall. Spalding residents are known for both their Wildcat Spirit and Spalding Spirit.  Residents proudly wear their blue and orange colors of Spalding to represent their pride during hall events. Spalding also houses many student athletes who are very involved in their community and are strongly supported by the hall.  Spalding’s competitive nature is prevalent in hall competitions and intramural sports. Spalding Hall’s goal is to build a family oriented community for residents that promotes social development and student involvement.  Spalding Hall houses one all female house and five co-ed house, with one designated as a “study house”. Spalding is building number 66 on the campus map.

NOTE: Due to the type of furniture in Spalding Hall rooms, lofts are not permitted. Loft kits manufactured to fit the beds are available for rent.
