Darnall Hall provides housing for first-year students. It was built as a women-only dorm, and together with its male counterpart, Harbin Hall, cost $5.6 million. [5] At the time Darnall opened in 1965, women were only in the school of Nursing, the School of Foreign Service and the Institute of Languages and Linguistics. [5] It is the only Georgetown dormitory named for a woman, Eleanor Darnall, who was the mother of Georgetown University founder John Carroll and an early supporter of Catholic education in America. [6] [7] Darnall is one of two Georgetown dormitories located within ANC District 2E04. As a result, it has been the focus of efforts to recruit Georgetown students to run for election to this District of Columbia position. [8] [9]
Darnall Hall was the home of one of two cafeterias on campus operated until Darnall Café was shut down after the 2004-2005 academic year. Restaurateur C.W. Chon negotiated a lease for the former cafeteria space, which reopened as a sit-down restaurant in April 2008 named Epicurean. [10] Chon had been chosen in 2006 based on his success with other Washington, D.C. establishments. [11]
Darnall was last renovated in 1996. There are six floors with double-occupancy rooms, two common bathrooms, and a common room with a kitchen. The average room is 16.5 feet by 10.5 feet. [12] In addition, the building houses the offices of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action, Auxiliary Services, Counseling and Psychiatric Services, GOCard Services, and the Student Health Center. [6]

It underwent renovations in 2000, opening in the fall to new students. Each floor of Harbin Hall consists of three sections, each of which hold a set of eight rooms surrounding a single-sex bathroom. Most rooms house two students with a few triple rooms throughout the building. The majority of the floors are co-ed. The west-facing side of Harbin hall boasts a clear view of Cooper Field and is located right in the center of the Georgetown campus.

New South Hall is a first-year student dorm. It opened in 1959, and its name is due to its placement as the southernmost building on the main campus at the time of its completion. The building was renovated in 2004.
The name reflects the oldest Georgetown building, which had been called "Old South", and was located near New South's location. Old South was replaced by Ryan Hall in 1903. When New South was completed in September 1959, it was the southernmost building on campus. [14] [15] Money for the dormitory was made available by the federal government largely because of the 1957 launch of Sputnik 1, which galvanized the government to fund educational initiatives. However this required that a "no-frills" building be built. Since then, renovation to the exterior has been prevented by the United States Commission of Fine Arts, which considers it a "part of the historic skyline of Georgetown". [16] Its monolithic appearance has been criticized by many from students to President Lyndon B. Johnson. [14] In addition to student housing, New South houses the office of the University Architect, University Facilities, Facilities Planning, and the MSB Technology Center.
New South's cafeteria was completed in February 1960, and at the time was the "biggest non-military food service in the Washington area." [14] In 2003 the dining hall was closed and replaced by neighboring Leo J. O'Donovan, S.J. Dining Hall. In 2004, the building underwent a $21 million interior renovation, and a new entrance was created. [17] The old cafeteria space was converted into room for dance classes called "Deep South", first opened in February 2004, though many proposals for its use were made. [18] The dormitory was formally rededicated in November 2004. [19] Amenities added during renovations were named as the reason why Georgetown was listed in the top ten priciest college dormitories according to U.S. News & World Report . [20]
The four floors are co-ed and contain roughly one-hundred students, and each double room in New South contains a sink. [21] Each floor has two resident assistants and a Chaplain-in-Residence. [22] The dormitory has a certain reputation, due in part to its long corridors, of being more social but also being prone to vandalism. However, New South was recognized as the Georgetown Hall of the Year for the 2005–2006 academic year and recognized by The Voice as the Best Dorm to Live in 2006-2007. Current university president John J. DeGioia lived in New South while a student. [19] [23]
