Morris Hall – UGA 2204 (1957, Category 2). Morris Hall an early example of Mid-Century Modern structures built on campus. Used as a men’s dormitory, the building is somewhat isolated and relatively small in size. Morris Hall is a four- story brick building that is T-shaped in plan. The primary facade facing South Lumpkin Street has a central entrance with a cantilevered concrete canopy, the tapered edges of which are covered with aluminum. The entranceway and columns supporting the canopy are covered with marble. The original metal and glass entrance has been replaced with a more modern aluminum storefront entrance. Canopies are located at rear exits as well.
The building is a simple rectangular brick mass with large windows for each dormitory room and a simple flat cornice at the top. The windows are surrounded with cast stone or limestone. The building’s original metal windows, probably natural aluminum, have been replaced with new white aluminum windows. The building retains integrity and appears to contribute to a National Register-eligible historic district. It is assessed as a Category 2 resource.
