Huddleston Hall

Huddleston Hall is home to the Hamel Honors and Scholars College.

Although Huddleston Hall opens and closes around 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, like most campus academic buildings, Honors students can swipe in with their IDs at any time. This access is in response to Honors students' wish for more quiet, after-hours spaces to study either alone or in groups, and we are so pleased to offer it! Be sure to treat your beautiful Honors home with care -- we trust you!
