Dowd-White-Nash Halls, known as the Quad, opened in 1953 as a response to the post-World War II boom in enrollment. It operated consistently until 2005 when it closed to save the University money. An increase in enrollment in 2007 saw the dormitories' reopening as overflow residences. Eventually, in 2011 the decision was made to permanently close them. They were demolished in 2013 and today the site is home the Honors Academic Village.<br /><br />[4] The Crossings residence hall is renamed (2014). In March of 2013, the Board of Trustees approved renaming the 2002 residence hall – the Crossings – to Presidents Hall.
