Lipscomb Hall

Lipscomb Hall is a co-ed dormitory for first-year students located at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

Lipscomb Hall is located off Baxter Street, directly next to Mell Hall and Bolton Dining Commons.[1] It is considered part of the "lower five," a group of five dormitories with smaller capacities and proximity. The rooms at Lipscomb Hall consist of beds, desks, closets, and a sink and house two people.[2] After complaints arose concerning the poor facilities in Lipscomb Hall,[3] the downstairs area with a kitchen and laundry machines was renovated, along with the communal bathrooms.[4] Additionally, the dorm was deep cleaned.[5] The renovations were completed in 2023.[6] Lipscomb Hall is named after Andrew A. Lipscomb, a former president of the University of Georgia, who also held slaves.[7] In 2020, Georgia established an advisory group to rename buildings on campus that are named after individuals who supported slavery and racial segregation.[8] However, it was decided that Lipscomb Hall would remain under the same name along with many other buildings on campus considered in the advisory group.[9]
