Donner Hall is the campus' single sex hall for first-year women. This building is centrally located and can accommodate 80 women. Most rooms are double rooms, but there are single rooms and a triple available. Each room has telephone, cable television, and Ethernet hookups. The rooms have the following furniture for each resident: desk, chair, dresser, wardrobe, and bed. If the room is designated a triple, it will have three sets of furniture; double, two sets; and single, one set. There are two common bathrooms per floor, one for each wing, common floor lounges, an efficiency kitchen, and laundry facilities. Donner Hall is also connected to Ide Hall via the Donner Lecture Hall, which is used for numerous functions throughout the year.
There are six Resident Assistants that live and work in Donner Hall, two per floor, one for each wing. The RAs are responsible for nurturing and maintaining the development of a tight and respectful community in the house. Each resident plays a big part in this development, but the RAs play a critical role in the planning of events, orchestrating and running of house meetings, listening to and referring residents for additional assistance, and enforcing all College policies. The RAs for Donner Hall are supervised by the Assistant Director/Area Coordinator that lives in Ide Hall.
Limited parking is shared with Sorority Court in the lot behind the building. Donner Hall is easily accessible to Sorority Court, Ide Hall, the J. Graham Brown Campus Center, Newby Hall, and the Horner Center.
