Wilson Hall houses 210 residents in a traditional hall setting. Each wing of this building has a community bathroom. Wilson Hall contains a study room with wireless internet access, a TV Lounge with surround sound, a formal lounge, as well as a lounge/recreation room. Wilson Hall was constructed in the same 1960-62 time frame as Wooddell Hall, and it has been a women’s residence since being opened to students as the Women’s Upperclass Hall in 1962. The building was rededicated in 1977 in honor of Ms. Damaris O. Wilson, the Dean of Women at Concord College from 1952 until her retirement in 1972. In 2018 Wilson Hall was converted to a co-ed residence hall.
