This new facility will be the third residence hall built on the University’s campus over a 100 year time span honoring Julia Tutwiler, a champion for education in Alabama. Located southwest of the current Tutwiler Hall, the New Tutwiler Residence Hall will accommodate over 1,200 freshmen female students with two-person rooms, with private bathrooms in each room, lounges, and community/traditional-style residence hall spaces.

This new residence hall has been specially designed to meet student needs, as well as support annual move-in events and summer camps. Each level of the building includes smaller, intimate community-style living and study spaces to encourage a sense of comfort and togetherness. This new residence hall will also include on-site fitness amenities and a multipurpose room that doubles as a storm shelter that will provide a space for the residents to hold group meetings and social gatherings.

We know it wouldn’t be Tutwiler without Julia’s Market — the beloved food service venue in the current Tutwiler Hall will move to the New Tutwiler Residence Hall.
