Welcome to Founders Hall
Completed in 1954, Founders sits in the heart of the University of Dayton campus and is home to 400 first-year students. Founders Hall has mostly double rooms, and hallways often become the spaces for informal study and social gatherings. Its horseshoe shape makes it easy to know your way around the building and ensures many rooms overlook the central courtyard. Kennedy Union and the Central Mall are outside the building's north doors, so residents are always near the hustle and bustle of campus and most academic buildings

External building doors lock every night at 10:00 PM, and students must use the main lobby doors via the east and west entrances. Students are not permitted to open side doors for individuals after this time and may be in violation of the Code of Conduct.

Community quiet hours are as follows:

Weekends: 12:00 AM - 6:00 AM
We ask that you respect these periods of time to foster a safe and productive community.
Trash rooms are located at the ends of each floor (north and south ends). Please make sure you are placing only bagged trash and recycling in these receptacles.
Large boxes must be placed in the dumpsters on the south side of the building.
When ordering from food delivery services (Doordash, UberEats, etc.), students should plan to meet their drivers outside of the secured building areas. Food deliveries are not to be left at the front desk.
All student beds are sized "Twin-XL". Beds in Founders Hall are in the lofted position upon arrival. Students may request a ladder by submitted a residential work order (see above). Students are permitted to un-loft their bed at any time, but all furniture must be returned to its original position at the time of move out.
NOTE: The bunking of beds in Founders Hall is not permitted. The frames provided are not rated to support two beds and may present danger to residents.
