Part of Jackrabbit Village, Spencer Hall is one of three new residence halls completed in August 2010. The four floors house 148 students with 21 rooms on each floor: 16 doubles, four singles and a room for a residence hall adviser.
Building Description
By residence hall standards, the rooms are supersized at 204 square feet (basically 20 x 10 feet), which is 25% larger than most rooms on campus. Each floor has a dedicated, sound-proof study room, two restrooms, air conditioning and a living room that includes a full kitchen with full-sized appliances, a fireplace, soft seating and an electronic gaming area.
Spencer Hall houses the Transfer Students Living-Learning Community.
Spencer Hall is named after Velva Lu Spencer who earned both a bachelor's degree in 1986 and a master's degree in 1989 in sociology. An enrolled member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, she is remembered as an advocate for human rights and for her deep concern for opportunities in higher education for Native American students. From 1988-2003, Spencer served as SDSU's third Native American adviser with remarkable success in retention and graduation of Native American students.
