Grace Residence Hall
One of two residence halls on South campus, Grace is near Brady Education Center (music classes) and a surface parking lot. Behind Grace is a large open green space where students gather for outdoor activities, a grotto with winding paths and areas for contemplation, and the Mississippi River.
Grace has a brick exterior that evokes its creation in the early 1900s (remodeled in 1989 for code updates). This is a quiet area of campus, and residents from Grace and nearby Cretin Hall form a tight-knit community.
At this time, there are no plans to demolish Grace Hall, and Residence Life expects it to remain available to residents throughout the future construction of the Lee and Penny Anderson Arena.
