McTyeire Hall

Located on the central campus, McTyeire offers easy access to dining and classroom facilities. It houses 97 residents in single rooms. Residents live on the first and second floors. One Resident Adviser/Head Resident lives on the first floor and two live on the second floor. Seven program coordinators also reside in the building.

The McTyeire International House language programs help students improve their fluency in one of seven foreign languages through daily use of the language and close communication with faculty and native speakers.

McTyeire, built in 1940 in collegiate gothic style, was the first dormitory for women. A complete renovation in 1992/1993 includes a tower entrance, a language library, and an expanded dining area. In 1997, McTyeire Hall earned a Metro Historical Commission top Architectural Award in the educational and institutional category.

McTyeire Hall is named for Methodist Bishop Holland N. McTyeire, first president of the Board of Trust.
