| Back to previous map McTyeire International House
McTyeire, built in 1940 in collegiate gothic style, was the first
dormitory for women on the Vanderbilt campus. McTyeire now houses 97
women and men in single rooms. The building is named for
Methodist Bishop Holland N. McTyeire, first president of the Vanderbilt
University Board of Trust.
Living in McTyeire International House helps
students improve their fluency in one of five foreign languages, through
daily use of the language and close communication with faculty and
international students. A complete renovation in 1992/93 included a new
tower entrance, a language library,and an expanded dining area. McTyeire
is handicap accessible, as are other renovated dormitories on
campus. |
