Also Known As: Marshall Scott Hall; Old Scott and New Scott (the addition).

Named For: Marshall R. Scott, a trustee of the College from 1932 until his death in 1936. Scott, a Ripon businessman and industrialist, was general manager and president of Barlow and Seelig Co., which was the predecessor of Speed Queen Co.

Location: Next to Bowen's Woods on Thorne Street.

Date of Construction: 1950-1951. The original building was constructed in 1950-51. A five-story addition was completed in 1966.

Former Uses: Scott Hall was first used in the 1950-1951 school year as a residence hall for freshmen men and transfer students. The three-story structure accommodated 146 students.

Present Uses: A five-story addition, completed in 1966, made Scott the tallest building on campus, and brought the total student capacity to 244. On the upper level are 32 individual study carrels. The building had another addition completed around 1995, which added another 22 rooms and brought the capacity to just under 290.  Presently Scott Hall is co-ed, with men in the old portion and women and men housed on alternate floors in the new addition.  The three areas of the building are now known as East (the tower), Middle (the old part), and West (the new addition) Scott.  East Scott houses first year men and women as well as some upperclass men and women.  There is also a coed substance free living group called Societas Tresvost (ST) that lives on fourth floor.  Middle Scott houses first year men primarily, although there are occasionally floors of first year women depending on the year. West Scott is upperclass men and women.  The building has many nice features including guest rooms, many study areas and lounges, a kitchen, a game room and TV lounge, and other lounges used for gatherings and campus meetings.
