Notes: Kimmel Hall was originally built as a men's dormitory. Its innovative features included automatic elevators, outlets for closed circuit television, and individual room telephone outlets. It was first SU residence hall to house freshman and upperclassmen on the same floor. In 1992 the dining hall adjacent to the building was renovated and became Kimmel Food Court.
