Grace Residence Hall
One of two residence halls on South campus, Grace is near Brady Education Center (music classes) and a surface parking lot. Behind Grace is a large open green space where students gather for outdoor activities, a grotto with winding paths and areas for contemplation, and the Mississippi River.
Grace has a brick exterior that evokes its creation in the early 1900s (remodeled in 1989 for code updates). This is a quiet area of campus, and residents from Grace and nearby Cretin Hall form a tight-knit »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ.
At this time, there are no plans to demolish Grace Hall, and Residence Life expects it to remain available to residents throughout the future construction of the .
