Carman Hall (Eastern Illinois University)
Ruth Carman Hall is a dormitory owned by the Eastern Illinois University. It was named after Ruth Carman, a EIU alumni.[1]
History[edit]
Carman Hall opened on September 4, 1970, but wasn't officially completed until November 14, 1971.[2] Initially, the housing office was unable to fill the upper two floors of the building, but by 1977 the entire building was in use.[3] From August 2011, only eight floors were occupied due to reduced enrollment.[4] Carman Hall was closed after May 30, 2013, to allow for an assessment of the condition of the building and for future renovation.[5] In 2014, the university stated that it would remain closed as a cost-saving measure due to low enrollment.[6]
Since closure, the building has been used for training purposes by the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.[7]
