Formerly known as "Graduate Student Housing",
Brecon was renamed and dedicated to Lady Brecon in 1981. Brecon is the name of the county in Wales in which the town of Bryn Mawr can be found. Although it is farther from central campus than other residences, many students enjoy the sense of community and the shared experience of living "off campus." As one of Bryn Mawr's smaller undergraduate residences, most of Brecon's rooms are spacious with large windows, high ceilings, and hardwood floors.
