    Stops

    1. Shipstad Hall

      Shipstad Hall was built in 1967 on the site of what was once a five-hole golf course. The hall is named for the Eddie Shipstad family, one-time owners of the Ice Follies, who were the building's primary benefactors. Shipstad housed men for its first 20 years and then in the fall of 1987, it became the University's first coed hall. Today, it houses men and women in 141 rooms on four floors.

      Shaped somewhat like a "Z," the hall has two large lounges with televisions, a pool table, and a piano; four study rooms; bike storage; a chapel; a kitchen; and laundry facilities. The hall is also home to the University Archives and the University's Heritage Museum, both located in the building's basement.

    5. Villa Maria Hall

      Villa Maria Hall, named for the University’s patroness, the Virgin Mary, opened in 1957 as the first women’s residence hall on campus. Its location on the far Northwestern reaches of campus was chosen deliberately because the provincial superior at the time of its construction mandated that the hall be built as far away from the men’s dorm (Christie) as possible.

      The hall became a men’s residence in the 1980s and today houses approximately 150 men in 72 rooms. The building has a central lounge with a big screen television, a basketball court behind the building, and a chapel. It has a computer lab, a game room, and two study rooms.

    10. Lund Family Hall

      UP's newest residence hall, Lund Family Hall, opened its doors in August 2016. Each residential floor is complete with a social lounge and complemented by two study rooms on each residential wing. A large lounge on the first floor that boasts a fireplace, pool table, comfy couches and chairs, is an inviting space to gather with friends for socializing or all-hall events. A state-of-the-art community kitchen off the main lounge is a great place for making tasty treats for after-Mass socials. The courtyard outside the main entrance to the hall is a welcoming space for residents to gather when the weather is nice. You'll notice that the Lund Family Hall incorporates many design elements that we love from our existing residence halls. We look forward to the contributions this new community will make here on The Bluff!

      The Lund Family Hall is named for Allen and Kathleen Lund and the members of their family, many of whom are students and alumni of the University. The Lunds are longtime supporters of the University of Portland and Catholic education. Allen is a former chairman of the University of Portland’s Board of Regents and has been a member of the board since 2001. The Lunds have supported many crucial endeavors at the University, including the University's Bell Tower, the Beauchamp Recreation and Wellness Center, and an endowed scholarship for students. The naming of our newest residence hall after the Lund family honors their charitable contributions and their ongoing relationship with the University of Portland.
