Shahidullah Hall, Student residence hall at University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

Shahidullah Hall is a five-story residential complex at University of Dhaka with multiple dormitory buildings for students. The facility includes bedrooms, study areas, and communal spaces spread across a main building and attached structures.

The building was founded in 1913 as Salimullah Muslim Hall and renamed in 1969 to honor linguist Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah. The name change reflected recognition of his important work in Bengali language scholarship.

The name honors linguist Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah and his contributions to Bengali language studies. The front pond remains a gathering spot where students meet and spend time together.

The campus grounds are accessible with paved pathways that let visitors walk around easily. Best to visit in early morning or late afternoon when the university is less crowded.

The site sits on former Bag-e-Musa Khan land and preserves remains of structures from medieval Bengal. These historical layers beneath the modern campus make it a place where different time periods overlap.
