Guinn Hall

Guinn Hall is a 24-story residence building standing 271 feet (83 meters) tall, making it the highest structure in Denton. The building houses approximately 700 students in rooms with private bathrooms, study areas, laundry facilities, and WiFi access throughout.

The building was constructed in 1968 under president Dr. John Alonzo Guinn, marking a period of significant expansion for Texas Woman's University. Its completion in 1969 represented an important milestone in the institution's development.

Different floors host learning communities where students with similar academic interests live together and develop their skills in a shared environment.

The building is easy to navigate and accessible to visitors, with clear signage and a central entrance for orientation. It is best to visit during the academic year when campus life is most active.

When it was finished in 1969, it held the record as the tallest student residence hall in the entire United States, a remarkable achievement for its era. This distinction brought the university national recognition at the time.
