History
Built in 1926, Cannon Hall accommodates 50 men, approximately half of whom are first-year students. Located on South Carolina Avenue, Cannon is close to central campus, but a short walk from the Quadrangle. When it was first built in the 20's, Cannon was awarded for being one of the finest dorms in the country. Cannon was also refurbished during the summer of 2005.
Layout and Design
With thirty-one rooms on three floors, arranged in singles and doubles, Cannon offers a mix of rooms for upperclassmen and first-year students. Hall floors and bedroom floors are carpeted in blue and have white walls. Each double room contains two beds, two dressers, two chairs, and wall-mounted book shelves. Except for the corner rooms, each room has one large window with white venetian blinds. The larger corner rooms feature two windows. Each floor shares a common bathroom.
There is a common room on the first and third floors, and each contains comfortable seating, a television and VCR/DVD player. The dorm kitchen, furnished with stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and sink, is located on the third floor. Laundry machines are located in the basement, and a new bike shed is adjacent to the dorm. The dorm grill is located beside the front entrance.
Additional Information
The beds are 75" long and there is approximately 12" of storage space under the beds. Students are asked not to bring metal frame futon furniture as it often causes significant damage to students' rooms.
Cannon Hall is not air-conditioned. A fan is highly recommended for your room! The common room is air conditioned.
