From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howell Residence Hall is a residence hall in the Georgia Tech Freshman Experience. Dedicated to Clark Howell, original endower of WGST.[1] Howell Hall was designed by architects Bush-Brown & Gailey for $163,000.[2] Originally constructed in 1939, it underwent renovation as part of Georgia Tech's effort to renovate residence halls preceding the 1996 Olympics.[3]
As the only coed dormitory in FE East, Howell Hall houses the Georgia Tech Honors Program, beginning with the program's inaugural class in the Fall 2006 semester. The building is located among Smith, Harrison, Brittain Dining, and N Williams St. (the I-85-North Ave exit) and features the only quad in FE North.
There are four floors in Howell with the zero floor dedicated to an exercise room, bicycle closet, and a television lounge. In the current distribution of the building's 78 dorm rooms, the first and third floors house male members of the Honors Program, while the second, and larger floor, houses the program's female members.
