Guadalupe Hall opened in the fall of 2014 as a 120 bed freshmen through senior residence hall. The building features 12 stars to represent Mary’s crown described in the Book of Revelation. Each floor has a Marian theme and is the newest hall on campus to have its own chapel, the St. Juan Diego Chapel. The building also features a one-of-a-kind Ash wood statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This residence hall is unique in its outdoor Mary’s Garden, which features a fountain and plants named for or associated with devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
