Located on southwestern corner of the main
campus, Simpson is adjacent to O'Dwyer Hall (residential) and the Center
for Engineering Education and Research. The building houses
approximately 30 male freshmen residents in double, triple and quad room
accommodations.
The smallest of the University's residence halls and one of several
former private residences purchased and converted for institutional use,
Simpson (circa 1939) is named in honor of Villanova benefactor, William
Simpson. Mr. Simpson served as one of only two lay members of the Board
of Trustees during the 1930's, and was instrumental in supporting the
University's efforts to increase the number of endowed academic
scholarships available at that time.
All rooms are doubles with the exception of the following:
Rooms 1 and 12 are singles.
Rooms 4, 8 and 11 are standard quads.
Room 6 is a standard triple.
