Moore College
Opened in August 2014, Moore College is located on West End Avenue near 21st Avenue South. Moore 
College provides state-of-the art accommodations inside gothic-style architecture reminiscent of historic Kirkland Hall.
Moore College houses 343 upper-division students in four, five and six-person suites as well as traditional double and single rooms. Students live on all six floors of the building. Corridors and common areas are carpeted. Student rooms have hard surface flooring.
Moore College, and neighboring Warren College, are connected by the Kissam Student Center which provides gathering spaces, grab-and-go dining options, a classroom, offices, and meeting rooms. Notable spaces within the college include a great room and study lounges.
Moore College is led by a Faculty Head of College, who resides in an apartment on the fifth floor. The Faculty Head works closely with Residential Colleges staff and the College Programming and Advisory Councils to encourage the living and learning outside of the classroom. The residents are also supported by an Area Coordinator, Head Residents, and Resident Advisers who all live in the college.
The college is named in honor of Stanford Moore, a 1935 Vanderbilt graduate who received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1972. Moore College is comprised of two halls:
- Rice Hall is named in honor of Henry Grantland Rice, a 1901 Vanderbilt graduate and the most famous American sports writer during the first half of the 20th century.
- Smith Hall is named in honor of the Rev. Kelly Miller Smith, a civil rights leader and assistant dean of Vanderbilt Divinity School from 1968 to 1984.
Residency also incurs the required Residential College Experience Fee.
