Residence Hall

Larry D. Milne, Ph.D. Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs and Research Administration Residence Hall Expansion News

One of the reasons for building a new residence hall at UAMS was that the old student dormitory was more than 45 years old. From its heating and cooling systems to its accommodations, the old facility was simply out of date. Also, the new hospital expansion is being built on the site of the old dorm.
