Creswell Hall – UGA 2211 (1963, Category 2). Creswell Hall is another residence hall. It was named for Mary E. Creswell, the first woman to receive a degree from the university, and dean of home economics from 1918 until 1945.
Creswell Hall is a nine-story dormitory tower constructed in 1963 just west of the low-rise dormitories discussed above. Like the low-rise dorms, Creswell Hall is in the Mid-Century Modern style and uses the same pallet of brick masonry core and wings of aluminum and green metal panels. Unlike the low-rise dorms, the building’s size and number of residents makes it less humanly scaled. The building retains integrity and appears to contribute to a National Register-eligible historic district. It is assessed as a Category 2 resource.
