Goodman House

Goodman House was named in honor of a former Millsaps English teacher, Mrs. Marguerite Watkins Goodman, and her family. This residence hall is a two-story apartment style that complex that houses seniors and juniors who have lived on campus the previous year. Opened in 1985, the facility comprises 16,000 square feet of living space.

Surrounded by flowering Indian hawthorne and young trees, Goodman House is located on the south side of campus adjacent to the campus entrance. The building's location is convenient to all other south side dormitories and is just a few minutes' walk from most academic buildings. Parking for Goodman is convenient, with lots directly in front and to the side of the building.

The rooms in Goodman House are arranged in four housing modules. A center courtyard, which features barbecue pits, tables, and benches, offers a comfortable place for students to entertain, relax, and socialize. Each double room contains two bedrooms, a private bath, and a study lounge/kitchenette. All rooms have phone jacks with voice mail capabilities, caller identification, and call waiting. Each room also offers two internet hook ups and basic furniture: a desk, chair, dresser, closet and bed for each occupant.

A central laundry facility on the ground floor also contains soda and snack machines. In addition, Goodman Hall is one of only two dorms at Millsaps that includes a manual air conditioning system, allowing students to control the air and heat conditions in their rooms as they choose. A newspaper kiosk in the open-air courtyard gives students the opportunity to stay informed about local and national events. Since the rooms themselves are not carpeted, students are encouraged to bring their own rugs.
