Built in 2010, this dorm was opened in August of 2011. Like many buildings before it, the name of New Hall was used initially. On October 12, 2012 it was officially named Dunn Hall. This dorm added 140 beds for students, and included 4-person suite-style living as well as single rooms with bathrooms and kitchenettes. Social lounges were provided on each floor as well as three large study lounges and laundry and vending areas.
The building is named Dunn Hall in honor of Thomas B. Dunn (Class of 1964) and Carol J. Campbell Dunn (Class of 1963) and their family, which has been very supportive of the school. Tom was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1984-1990 and again from 2000-2008.
