New Residence Hall: Warde Hall

"Warde Hall" home to 300 freshmen

Mercyhurst College is proud to announce that our new $14 million state-of-the-art residence hall is now open and home to over 300 first year students, both men and women. The new residence hall is situated on the south end of campus, adjacent to both Tullio Field and the D'Angelo Performing Arts Center. Construction of the estimated $14 million residence hall at Erie began in Summer 2008. The four-story brick structure can house up to 318 freshmen and encompasses approximately 100,000 square feet. On April 30, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved the naming of the hall, designating it as "Warde Hall," in honor of Mother Frances Warde, RSM, American founder of the Sisters of Mercy. Mother Warde was also the first professed Sister of Mercy by Mother Catherine McAuley.
