Scudder Hall is a residence hall within the Parker complex. Parker complex buildings are composed of traditional corridor style hallways with a single-sex bathroom shared by all residents of the floor, which is maintained daily by the Custodial Staff. Students who live in the corridor style buildings enjoy a lot of activity and interaction with the members of their section.
Lounges can be found on each of the floors, each with a microwave oven. Located in the basement of Scudder Hall are two laundry rooms with washers and dryers and a garbage/recycling room. Vending machines are located in the main lounge, located on the first floor. The first, second and third floor lounges have televisions. A kitchen is located on the third floor, and There is a computer lab with five computers in the basement. Scudder Hall is in close proximity of the Health Center, the Athletic and Wellness Center, and outdoor tennis courts.
Scudder Hall is also a 10 month hall and open during all scheduled vacations (unless otherwise indicated by the Director of Residence Life) to permit those students needing housing an opportunity to remain on campus when other halls are closed. You must live in 10 month housing to stay over breaks.
History: Scudder Hall is named for Myron Tracy Scudder, the third principal of New Paltz Normal from 1899-1908. Scudder began the New Paltz tradition of hosting international students and also began the New Paltz intercollegiate athletic program.
