Fletcher Hall, Student residence hall at University of Florida, USA
Fletcher Hall, originally North Hall, is a Collegiate Gothic dormitory designed by Rudolph Weaver and built in 1938 on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. It stands in the Murphee Area, where its footprint forms half of the letter F in the campus-wide "U.F." layout visible from the air.
The building was completed in 1938 and named after U.S. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher from Florida. It served as one of the early residential complexes supporting campus expansion during that period.
Fletcher Hall was where the predecessor of the Inter-Residence Hall Association, which represents student housing residents, was founded. Its original name, North Hall, was replaced to honor Duncan U. Fletcher, a longtime U.S. Senator from Florida.
Student rooms contain two twin beds, desks, shelving, and storage for personal items. Access is convenient through multiple entrances connected to the main campus pathways.
When viewed from above, the building forms half of the letter F within the layout of the Murphee Area on campus. This architectural arrangement is not obvious at ground level but reveals an intentional design concept from an aerial perspective.
