Boreman Hall, Student residence hall at West Virginia University, United States.
Boreman Hall is a student housing building at West Virginia University with two separate wings called North and South that can be accessed through ten entrances. The rooms come in different configurations, including single rooms, double rooms, and triple suites.
The building was originally constructed in 1935 as a men's dormitory and named after Arthur I. Boreman, the first governor of West Virginia. During World War II, it served as a barracks for the Army Air Force.
The dormitory layout promotes student interaction through communal study areas, social lounges, and shared spaces that support academic and social development.
Every room is furnished with desks, chairs, dressers, and lamps to support studying and daily living. With ten entrances split between the two wings, finding your way around is straightforward.
The doors still bear dents from rifle butts used by drill instructors during World War II to wake sleeping soldiers and airmen. These marks are a physical reminder of the building's time as a military barracks.
