Donnell Hall

Donnell is one of the three residence halls on campus for first-year students. It is located near the Chlapaty Recreation and Wellness Center, the football and softball field. It is co-ed, with one floor dedicated to women and three floors dedicated to men.

Donnell Hall was built in 1967 and is named for A. Douglas Donnell.  Donnell served as a University of Dubuque board member from 1940-1978 and as Board Chairman from 1949-1964.  

Douglas Donnell and David Cassat were close friends, so the proximity of the Cassat and Donnell buildings is appropriate. The interior of both residence halls underwent major renovations in the summer of 2003.
