St. Scholastica大厅
St. Scholastica大厅 opened in the fall of 2005. 这个名字是为了纪念St。. Scholastica, twin sister of St. Benedict, as well as the graduates of one of the college’s founders, Mount St. Scholastica大学. The hall addressed the college’s need to meet expanding enrollment and maintain its residential nature. The facility is four 故事 tall and contains approximately 36,000平方英尺, with room for 141 freshman women. It follows the design standards of other buildings on campus (for example Elizabeth Hall), with a brick exterior and limestone accents. In addition to the student rooms, it includes a “lighthouse” tower.
Upon the opening of the hall, Benedictine College President Stephen D. Minnis reflected that “Our residential nature is one of the best ways we build community and St. Scholastica大厅, 名义和存在, brings both our current students and our long Benedictine history with the Mount back to our campus. It means so much more to us than just 72 rooms.”

A History Told By Alumnae: In the main lounge on the first 地板上, a story unfolds in shadowboxes and an antique cabinet. In preparation for the dedication of St. Scholastica大厅 in the fall of 2006, alumnae from Mount St. Scholastica大学 were asked to donate pictures, 故事, and memorabilia from their time as “Mounties.” Much of what was shared with Benedictine College is now on permanent display in St. Scholastica大厅. Each year at the opening hall meetings, this beautiful display helps the staff tell the story of the amazing women who have walked before us to each new group of residents of St. Scholastica大厅. Above the fireplace in the main lounge is an icon of St. Scholastica written by Sr. 保拉·霍华德，OSB. The icon is a replica of a large mural in the corridor outside St. Scholastica Chapel at the Mount. Sr. Paula notes that in the icon we see St. Scholastica with her hand outstretched protectively over the convent, 教堂, and college (at the time) of Mount St. Scholastica, and now over the residents of this hall.
