St Salvator's Hall, University dormitory in St Andrews, Scotland.
St Salvator's Hall is a three-story student residence with an attic located on The Scores street in St Andrews, designed in English domestic gothic style using coursed stone and slate. The building houses approximately 196 students in 128 rooms, combining single and shared accommodations.
The building was constructed between 1930 and 1933 with funding from Edward Harkness, designed by architect J. Donald Mills following Oxbridge college models. This project introduced a new approach to student residence design in British universities.
Residents gather for weekly formal dinners during the academic year, wearing their robes and sharing three-course meals together in a tradition that strengthens community bonds. These gatherings form the social backbone of student life in the residence.
The residence sits directly on The Scores overlooking the sea, making it easy to access other parts of campus from here. Meals are provided daily except for weekend dinners, so students plan their activities accordingly.
The boundary wall along Scores incorporates the roundel of the historic Swallow Port, preserving a connection to St Andrews' medieval past. Inside, stained glass windows depict notable university figures and add to the residence's character.
