Hutchison Hall

A page within Residence Life

Hutchison Hall, lovingly known as "Hutch," is a co-ed, cube-style residence hall that is home to approximately 400 residents, primarily first year students. The majority of rooms are standard double rooms, however there are also traditional triple rooms in the corners of each cube. Each cube is single-gendered with 16 rooms and a shared bathroom. There are study lounges between the cubes.

Located at the heart of campus, Hutchison Hall is conveniently close to Whitney Dining Center and Murphy Library, as well as three other residence halls (Angell, Drake and Wentz). Additionally, the Angell-Hutch Pit is a shared outdoor space where we hold large campus events and social activities. With its resident population and location on campus, Hutch is truly a great place to live and learn!
