Ella Sedwick Hall includes large lounge and collaborative spaces on the first floor, an open-air terrace on the second floor, and several outdoor areas to study and relax. 

The namesake of the new residence hall, Ella Sedwick, has greeted and supported generations of Southwestern students for more than 25 years through her work with Aramark and Sodexo in the University’s Mabee Commons Dining Hall. The personal connections she nurtures have significantly impacted the college experience of countless students, faculty, staff, and visitors, fostering an atmosphere of inclusion and belonging through her genuine care and interest.
