Located on the south campus, McGuire and
Caughlin Halls are "twin" buildings, representing the newest of the
University's traditional-style residence halls (circa 1989). Each of the
three-story buildings houses approximately 120 residents in double and
triple room accommodations. This year McGuire will house freshmen men
and Caughlin will house freshmen women. The gender of each building may
occasionally shift to accommodate enrollment patterns in the entering
class.
McGuire Hall is named in honor of Rev. Francis X. McGuire, OSA, who
served as Villanova's President between 1944 and 1954. During Fr.
McGuire's tenure, the College of Nursing and the School of Law was
founded.
