Margaret Nance Hall Exterior
Students in dorm room
The oldest residence hall on campus, Margaret Nance was originally called North Dormitory.
It was renamed Margaret Nance in 1925 in honor of Margaret White Johnson Nance, mother
of founding president David Bancroft Johnson. The residence hall closed in 1973 and
was reopened in 1978 to house fraternity and sorority offices and male students on
the first floor and women on the second and third floors. It was remodeled in 1987
and afterwards housed only women again. Today both men and women live in Margaret
Nance.
