About Gates Hall

Gates Hall is a traditional corridor-style dorm at Grinnell College, named after Merrill E. Gates, a former president of the college. Students live in single and double rooms with communal bathrooms, reflecting the functional residential model that Grinnell has maintained across most of its on-campus housing. Gates participates in the wider campus Social Council system and draws students who appreciate its central location and established hall culture.
