## Undergraduate Housing

### East Campus Residence Halls

[edit]

Broward Hall, built in 1954, originally housed female students; similar to many other campus buildings built during that era, its architecture amalgamates Collegiate Gothic and Brutalist styles. Buckman Hall was built in 1906 and is one of the oldest buildings at the university. Murphree Hall, built in 1939 Fletcher Hall, built in 1938 Keys Residential Complex opened in 1991 as apartment-style student housing Springs Residential Complex, built in 1995, replaced existing facilities located at the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Lakeside Residential Complex, built in 2000 Beaty Towers, built in 1967, is the subject of a popular urban legend

### Honors Housing

[edit]

Honors Residential Housing at Hume Hall

The University of Florida Honors Program offers housing for freshmen at the Honors Village. This residentially-based academic community consists of five residence halls and integrates the housing needs of Honors residents with facilities, staff, and programs in support of the Honors Program.

In total 1,407 residents can be accommodated. With the facility, each building is "themed" to accommodate honors students including a "Mindfulness Community" with meditation spaces, a student library, a makers space, study spaces, and sound damped music rooms.

## Graduate and family housing

[edit]

The graduate and family housing complexes are: Corry Village, Diamond Village, Maguire Village, Tanglewood Village, and University Village South. In addition they may reside in the UF affiliate The Continuum.[2]

Dependent children residing in the student housing with their parents are assigned to schools in the Alachua County Public Schools. As of 2015, residents of Diamond Village, Maguire Village, Tanglewood Village, and University Village South are assigned to Idylwild Elementary School. Corry Village and The Continuum are in the zone for Finley Elementary School. Kanapaha Middle School and Gainesville High School are the assigned secondary schools for all of the properties except for Tanglewood Village, which is instead assigned to Lincoln Middle School and Eastside High School.[2][3]

## Former facilities

[edit]

The building once known as The King's House was built in 1921 and was used to house the Institute of Hispanic/Latino Culture before being demolished in 2017. Building 271 is the only building that remains from Schuct Village. It is currently used by Shands to house transplant patients

There have been some buildings at the University of Florida that were used for housing, but have since been demolished or converted to other uses.[4]

After rapid increases in enrollment after World War II and the allowing of women to enroll, several temporary buildings were erected on the campus. These included

* Flavets (1945–1974) - Named after a contraction of the term "Florida Veterans," these former military housing units were located at three locations on campus, including Flavet I near the current site of the J. Wayne Reitz Union, Flavet II at the current location of Beaty Towers, and Flavet III at the current location of the Keys Residential Complex.
* Temporary Frame Residence Halls (1946-1960s) - One story frame buildings built in several locations on campus, including the current site of the O'Connell Center and the current Computer Science and Engineering building.
* Grove Hall (1946–1977) - Reconstructed military building relocated from Camp Blanding located on the current site of the Architecture and Fine Arts colleges

Other facilities built after World War II included:

* The King’s House (1954–1967) - Two white framed buildings on University Avenue originally built in 1921 and used for experimental housing arrangements. The King's House was an unofficial name for Building 880, the eastern building. The buildings later housed the Institute of Black Culture and the Institute of Hispanic Culture before being demolished in 2017.[5]
* Lonilair & Michael Halls, Pierce & Patrick Courts - Leased off-campus housing for women, located north of University Avenue near Anderson Hall and Library West
* Trailervet Village, Alachua Army Air Base, and Stengel Air Field - Temporary housing consisting of trailers and military barracks was located at the Alachua Army Air Base (now Gainesville Regional Airport) and Stengel Air Field (now Butler Plaza)
* Yon Hall (1966–1995) - Athlete housing located in the east side of the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. When the NCAA ruled against athletic housing, the Springs Residential Complex was constructed and the facilities at the stadium were converted into offices for several university departments.
* Schucht Village (1959–1997) - Apartment buildings constructed for veterans and their families, and later graduate students and their families. The facility was located near Shands, and the complex was sold to Shands in 1997. Shands subsequently demolished all of the buildings except for Building 271, which was refurbished and is now used to house transplant patients.
* Hume Hall (1958–2000) - "Old Hume" was large multi-story residence hall located at the intersection of Gale Lemerand Drive (formerly North South Drive) and Museum Road. The building was demolished in 2000 to construct the current Honors Residential College at Hume Hall.
