Getty's Hall

Named for Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Gettys, and completed in 1965, this hall was the first residence hall built at UMHB since the completion of Burt and Stribling Halls in the 1920's.  The two-story facility is one of two male residence halls on campus and houses 80 students in shared rooms.  Gettys is located on the central quad area and is very close to Hardy Dining Hall and Mayborn Campus Center, which houses the gym, workout center, and recreational space.  Gettys is also within easy walking distance to all of the academic buildings on campus, the intramural fields, and the library. 


This facility includes a large lobby with game tables such as ping pong, pool, and foosball, a T.V. area, a computer lab, vending machines, and laundry rooms with coin-operated washers and dryers.   In addition to built-in furniture, internet, cable, and local phone service, each room in this hall is equipped with a built-in sink and medicine cabinet.  The common bathrooms located on each wing are cleaned daily by the housekeeping staff. 

Resident Assistants are assigned to each floor of the building and the Resident Director lives on-site.  Building security includes a staff member on duty each evening until closing and a card access system for entry into the building after doors are locked.
