Wallace Hall Information

Wallace Hall is located on the corner of Macalester Street and Summit Avenue. Originally constructed in 1907, Wallace Hall is the oldest residence hall on campus. Now a co-ed dorm, Wallace once housed only women. The building is known for its hardwood floors, marble staircases, the formal lounge, and historical charm.

Wallace 4th floor is also home to The Substance-Free Affirming Community. The residents who apply to this community seek a floor that intentionally refrains from alcohol or other drugs through a harm reduction framework.  Students who apply should align with the values of the community by seeking a non-judgemental environment that is mutually supportive of each other. This community is intended to support both students in recovery (identify as a person with a history of substance abuse), and those students who are more sober curious.

Resident Information:  Wallace is home to returning students.
