Ezelle Hall

Ezelle Hall was built in 1958 and named for Mr. R.L. Ezelle, who served on the Millsaps Board of Trustees for 20 years. Ezelle is comprised of three floors, co-ed by floor, and roughly 31,000 square feet of living space.

Ezelle Hall is located on the south side of campus, near all other upperclassmen dorms and the fraternity houses. The building is bordered by a basketball court and an outdoor courtyard with benches. Ezelle Hall was completely renovated in 1997. During the renovation process, the school installed new carpeting in the hallways, new lights for every bedroom, new bathrooms, and new ventilation systems. Ezelle Hall features both indoor elevators and outdoor access ramps, and several rooms in Ezelle Hall are specifically designed for handicapped students. The bathrooms in this residence hall are particularly spacious, and the second floor includes handicapped shower facilities.

Ezelle features a large lobby on the second floor, complete with several tables, comfortable couches and loveseats, and a large screen television. The basement, which can be reached by elevator or stairs, includes several vending machines, a laundry room, and a smaller lobby with couches. Ezelle Hall also features a newspaper kiosk so that students can stay informed about local and national events.

Students reside in traditional double rooms with creamy white walls and tiled floors in neutral colors. All rooms have phone jacks with voice mail capabilities, caller identification, and call waiting. Each room also includes two internet hook ups and basic furniture: a desk, chair, dresser, closet and bed for each occupant. Since the rooms themselves are not carpeted, students are encouraged to bring their own rugs. Ezelle is also features a manual air conditioning system, allowing students to control the air and heat conditions in their rooms as they choose.
