Helman Hall, named in honor of A. Blair Helman, MC's president from 1956-86, was constructed in 1993. This air-conditioned, co-ed residence hall houses 129 men and women in an alternate floor arrangement. Each suite contains two two-student rooms and a bath. The Patricia Kennedy Helman Lounge on the first floor provides recreational, TV-viewing, meeting, and informal conversation areas. Other amenities include elevator service, a computer laboratory, a kitchenette and vending area on the first floor, and laundry, study/conference, and storage rooms on each floor. Oakwood Hall is essentially a mirror image of  Helman Hall.
