Wooddell
Hall houses 199 male residents in a traditional hall setting. Each wing of
this building has a community bathroom. Wooddell Hall provides a large study
area containing a modest library and direct Internet access portals for
laptop computing. The residence hall also houses a television/game room and
small computer lab and a kitchen. Construction
on Wooddell Hall was begun in 1960. Built in conjunction with Wilson Hall,
the total construction project was set at $165 million. Originally named New
Men's Hall, the building was rededicated in 1977 in honor of W.S.
"Woody" Wooddell. Mr. Wooddell graduated from Concord in 1924 and
was a member of the Concord faculty from 1935 until his retirement in 1966.
He served as head basketball coach and assistant football coach as well as
being the Dean of Men. At one
time, it was proposed that Wooddell Hall become a coeducational residence,
but this idea was never implemented, so Wooddell has always served as a men's
only residence hall.

Different
living options are available for students residing in the University's residence
halls. Special living areas are designated floors reserved for students who
wish to pursue a particular lifestyle with other students like themselves.
Some different living options include: Substance
Free Living Floors - designed for those students who desire a substance-free
living environment. All residence halls and the University Courts have
preselected floors that are substance free. These spaces are alcohol and
smoke free in all areas, private or otherwise. The latest studies confirm
that students in substance free residential areas drink less and are
protected from second hand effects of alcohol and smoke.
Academic/Honors Floors - designed for students with at least a 3.0 grade point
average who prefer a more studious environment. Students enrolled in the
Honors Program, and Presidential, Dean, Marsh, or Governor's Honors
Scholarship recipients, are encouraged to reside on these floors. Academic/Honors floors are
substance free areas. International
Living - provides students with a multicultural living experience. Concord
University provides an enhanced opportunity in all its residence areas for
interaction with students from various countries. Greek
Housing - located in the Twin Towers complex are social fraternity and
sorority wings designed to provide students the opportunity to live with
other members of their own Greek organization. |
