The Quad
Open space and nature separate the historic area.
Welcome to the Quad, a beautiful lawn surrounded by 7 Residence Halls, sprawling porches, and towering oak trees. This is the historic heart of the residential campus.

Seven Residence Halls including Bailey, Coit, Cotten, Gray, Hinshaw, Jamison, and Shaw

Each of the Quad buildings have three floors and all but Shaw have similar floor plans, with expansive, vaulted parlors facing the lawn in the center of each building.

The Quad was completely renovated in a $55 million dollar project and all seven halls were given top-quality upgrades. Focus was placed on creating an ideal outdoor space for students to enjoy, with walkways and seating areas scattered in a beautifully landscaped, grassy common area.

The Quadrangle, commonly known as ‘the Quad,” was built between 1919 and 1923. The seven dormitories that make up the area were all designed by Harry Barton of Greensboro, North Carolina: Bailey Residence Hall (1922), Coit Residence Hall (1923), Cotten Residence Hall (1922), Gray Residence Hall (1921), Hinshaw Residence Hall (1922), Jamison Residence Hall (1923), and Shaw Residence Hall (1919).

In 2011, the Quad began a comprehensive renovation of the seven residence halls and a redesign of the outdoor space.
