Meet the Residential Staff | Interior Photos
Located near central campus, Scales offers easy access
to sporting events and the Recreation Center, as well as to dining and classroom
facilities. It is one of four connecting residence halls that make up
Branscomb Quadrangle, built in 1962.
Scales currently houses nearly 130 first year students. Each of its
three floors houses up to 43 residents and one resident adviser in 26
traditional double rooms which are connected in pairs by half baths. All
rooms and corridors are carpeted. The typical room measures 10'6" x 15'6".
Branscomb Quadrangle is named for Chancellor Harvie Branscomb and his wife, Margaret.
The name of each residence hall in Branscomb memorializes one of the
outstanding women in Vanderbilt history.
Scales House is named for Anne Scales Benedict, an alumna and benefactress of the
university who was a zealous advocate of improved educational opportunities for
women at Vanderbilt.
