The four-story hall features 39 suites (some with kitchens) that provide homes to nearly 150 MC students. Each four-person suite includes carpeted rooms, a love seat, chair, coffee table, dining table with chairs, double- or single-occupancy rooms, and two bathrooms per suite. Each floor has a lounge with a television and kitchen and a study room where students can gather. Living in Gibson Hall includes a wellness component that requires all residents living in the building to abstain from tobacco and alcohol use while living in the hall.

Pearsons Hall has two residential floors above the Margaret Ware Dining Room: the 2nd floor houses women and the 3rd houses men. These residential spaces were reopened in the fall of 2015 after a complete renovation. Each floor consists primarily of double-occupancy rooms. A few of these have en-suite bathrooms, yet most rooms on each floor share a community restroom. The second floor boasts a community lounge with a full kitchen, and the third floor has its own study room. Laundry facilities are located on each floor. Pearsons is considered a wellness hall, so no alcohol or tobacco products are permitted in the building.

Our campus residence halls include air condition and heating for each residential space. We would like to provide a brief glimpse at some of the nuances of our facilities as they pertain to each of the residence halls since they are not the same across campus. If you ever believe there is a malfunction of our heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC), please contact your floor’s Resident Assistant or the building’s Resident Director so that a work order can be placed.

 

Beeson Village – Each Beeson 4-person apartment has its own thermostat and individual HVAC unit. Each Beeson 6-person apartment has two HVAC units/thermostats – one for the downstairs spaces and one for the upstairs spaces, and they operate independently of each other.

 

Carnegie Hall – Each room (and in suites with the kitchen, the kitchen does as well) has its own thermostat. The room cannot be set to any particular degree setting, but rather a range of hot/cold on either low, medium, or high air volume.

 

Copeland, Davis, & Gamble Halls* – In these buildings each room has its own thermostat which controls the temperature of the room. These buildings are on a two-pipe system, please see the note below.

 

Gibson Hall* – Each suite within this building has a thermostat that controls the temperature in the common area and bedrooms. The thermostat is located behind a locked door in the living room area and can only be accessed with assistance from a Residence Life or Physical Plant staff member. Gibson hall is on a two-pipe system, please see the note below

 

Lloyd Hall – Each suite within this building has a thermostat that controls the temperature in the common area and bedrooms. The thermostat is located behind a locked door in the living room area and can only be accessed with assistance from a Residence Life or Physical Plant staff member.

 

*Note on two-pipe HVAC system. Residence Halls which operate on this system have only one HVAC capability at a time – air conditioning OR heat. Both features cannot run at the same time. As such, the College Physical Plant department relies on the East Tennessee climate conditions to dictate whether the heat or the air is running. The process for switching between the two is a labor-intensive one which involves completely altering the manner in which that system operates, so once a hall’s system is switched from heating to air (or vice versa) it will remain in that operating forum until the climate change begins. The Physical Plant monitors the autumn and spring weather to make a “best guess” as to when the system should be switched over. This inevitably causes some temporarily uncomfortable conditions for some of our residents, but we assure that is only temporary. Until the transition is made we recommend residents bundle up, use a fan, open windows, or employ an appropriate technique to stay comfortable until the system better meets their needs.
