Oakland Hall provides students with an innovative arrangement of living-learning spaces that support both independent and collaborative study as well as on-site classroom learning. The first new residence hall on the campus since 1982, Oakland Hall completes the Denton Quad in the North Campus, creating a large, inviting lawn area that enlivens the community.

Oakland Hall houses undergraduates in 143 double duplex suites and 39 fully accessible double suites. A Z-shaped building design allows for the creation of intimate communities of approximately 30 students each (90 per floor), with single rooms for resident assistants within each community.

The building includes the Math Success Program in the Oakland Hall Academic Enrichment Center. Amenities include a two-story lobby with a grand staircase, a 300-student multipurpose room with advanced technology, and several seminar spaces and faculty offices. The 15 study lounges and 15 social lounges offer sites for quiet study, as well as bringing students together in collaborative study sessions.
