Ferrell Hall
Completed in 1893, Ferrell Hall served as the original abbey for the Benedictine monks. It first became used as a residence hall in 1929, when it was known as Freshman Hall. It was completely renovated in 2001 and renamed Ferrell Hall. It currently houses four floors of women. The structure now contains a state-of-the-art classroom, dorm rooms, and the Heritage Room, which tells the story of the school’s history.

Ferrell offers students a choice of uniquely stylized rooms from lofts and suites to apartments. It houses 152 students that are designated to specific floors depending on gender. Other features include a meditation room, the Heritage Room, and the Tower Classroom.
