The big Dimmitt Hall renovation is swiftly approaching and with it will come the end of the famous \u2018Hidden Hall.\u2019<\/p>\nThe big Dimmitt Hall renovation is swiftly approaching and with it will come the end of the famous \u2018Hidden Hall.\u2019<\/p>\n
Hidden Hall is located on the west side of Dimmitt, which is currently the girl\u2019s side of the building. The nickname is a result of the unusual detachment of the hall from the rest of the building. While all the other halls open up on the side that faces the heart of the building, this hall is closed off and can only be entered a limited number of ways.<\/p>\n
This hall\u2019s biggest claim to fame is the story of a girl who killed herself in one of the rooms and now supposedly haunts the hall. There have been numerous accounts throughout the years of ghost stories from residents of the hall.<\/p>\n
Sheri Hineman, the area coordinator for Dimmitt Hall, explains the changes being made, \u201cAt the east end of Hidden Hall they will take out the wall and create a hallway over to 1 West Old (1WO), which is currently a substance free hall.\u201d<\/p>\n
While many are saddened by the change to this long-standing landmark, Hineman explains that the changes are necessary. She said the driving force behind this change was, \u201cTo make the hall handicap accessible. The utility room will become an elevator, which will allow the hall the same accessibility as the rest of the building.\u201d<\/p>\n
This change is important to help bring the building up to modern standards and will improve the social benefits of those living on the hall.<\/p>\n
This renovation is especially sad for those who have lived and are currently living on the hall. The current group of 19 freshmen girls and their 2 RAs will be the last to carry on the legacy of \u2018Hidden Hall\u2019 residents.<\/p>\n
Katarina Loofe, a current resident of the hall commented, \u201c My mom lived in Dimmitt when she went to Morningside, and she can\u2019t believe its not longer going to be \u2018Hidden!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
There were many other residents who shared this feeling, and RA Natasha Hongsermeier, who currently lives on the hall stated, \u201cIt has been a joy to live on a hall with such a colorful reputation and while it is sad that it will no longer be able to claim its long-standing title, the changes being made are necessary and I am proud to claim the title of one of its last residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
