Becky Bacot Hall

Built in 1966, Becky Bacot Hall is a freshmen residence hall for men named after the late daughter of a prominent Methodist couple. Bacot Hall is located on the North Side of campus and is near the Physical Activities Center, which houses the campus gym, Olin Hall (an academic building), and the Campbell College Center, where the cafeteria and campus coffee shop are located. Between both Sanderson and Franklin Halls, Bacot stands out with the four-wing design and large walled courtyard featuring a colorful mural, tables, benches, and grills, a perfect place for gathering with friends and entertaining. The building is surrounded by lush landscaping and has immediate access to parking facilities directly behind the dorm.

The lobby has beige walls, sofas, and chairs, and is divided into a televison area, with a large-screen television set, and a meeting area with a piano. Soda, juice, and snack machines are also located on the first floor. Each floor has its own laundry facility, and study rooms and bathrooms are located on every floor.

Each cream-colored room in Bacot Hall is divided by a dual closet with two desks, chairs, dressers on one side, and two beds on the other. All rooms have phone jacks with voice mail capabilities, caller identification, and call waiting. Each room also includes two internet hook ups and basic furniture: a desk, chair, dresser, closet and bed for each occupant. Since none of the rooms in Bacot Hall are carpeted, students are encouraged to bring their own area rugs.
