BARRY'S RESIDENCE HALLS
BROWNE HALL
Built in 1985, Browne Hall is named after the university's third president, Sister M.
Dorothy Browne. Browne's 90 students live in suites of two double rooms connected by a
bathroom. It is a predominantly upper-class student hall.
DALTON-DUNSPAUGH HOUSE
Originally known as Regina Caeli and Regina Mundi, respectively, Dalton-Dunspaugh
(D&D) was built in 1962 through the generosity of the Dunspaugh Foundation. It serves as a
female residence hall, housing mostly freshmen or new students. Dalton is composed of suites,
which share a bathroom between double or triple rooms. Dunspaugh has a large community
bathroom on each floor which is strictly for the use of those who live in D&D. There are TV
lounges on each floor in Dalton, and a TV lounge and study lounge are located in the central
lobby.
FLOOD HALL
Built in 1987, Flood Hall is named after Sister Trinita Flood, fourth president of Barry. It
houses female and male students in suites of two double rooms connected by a bathroom.
RENEE MOTTRAM -DOSS HALL
Completed in 1990, this is the university's newest hall and is named after Renee Mottram
Doss, a member of the university's board of trustees. It is comprised of 16 three and five
bedroom apartments and houses male and female upper-class students.
WEBER HALL
A gift from the Edyth Bush Foundation, Weber was built in 1946 and named for former
president Mother Genevieve Weber. It houses male students in a variety of room styles,
including single, double, triple and quad rooms with shared and community baths. Most new
male students are housed in Weber.
LIVING IN A COMMUNITY
Your residence hall community is made up of you and all those who live on your floor or
building. Your community has the potential of offering support for academic excellence, a
sense of belonging, self-reliance and self-understanding. However, the direction your
community takes depends largely upon your involvement in it. Your interactions with other
residents and their interaction with you will determine how your community will evolve.
Mutual consideration and respect are the building blocks for a successful community.
RESIDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is a student advisory board to the professional
staff within the Office of Residential Life. A motivated student organization, the goals of RHA
are to lobby for the concerns of the residence hall community and to provide opportunities for
involvement through social and service activities.
RHA provides a voice for each resident in their own governance within the regulations
and policies established by the university. The quality of living, enforcement of rules and
educational and social programming in each hall will only be as vital as the interest of the
residents living there.
Each resident is automatically a member of RHA. One or two representatives from each
floor/hall shall be elected by fellow residents to represent them in all RHA meetings and
events. However, the involvement and vitality of this resident voice is the responsibility of
every resident student.
