Guinn Hall, Student residence building at Texas Woman's University in Denton, United States.
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.
Guinn Hall is named for John Alonzo Guinn, the sixth president of Texas Woman's University, who led the institution from 1950 to 1976. The 24-story tower was built during his tenure, when the university was expanding its student housing; it now stands as the tallest building in Denton.
Each floor of Guinn Hall is a separate Living Learning Community, grouping residents by shared interests, majors, scholarships, or leadership skills. The building houses first-time college students only, and each room contains two to three bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom.
Guinn Hall faces University Avenue and is a co-ed dormitory reserved for first-time college students, so access to the floors is controlled for residents. Some floors now house three students per room because of housing shortages, and the building no longer provides telephone service, though each bedroom keeps its private bathroom and cable hookup.
