'''Eggleston Hall''' (EGG M/W/E, #21/22/23) is one of the oldest [[Hokie Stone]] dorms on campus, and
comprises 3 wings. It is located on [[Lower Quad]] across from [[Owens Hall]], and is convenient to
the [[Drillfield]], [[Newman Library]], and [[College Avenue]].
The main wing was constructed completed in the 19320s1935, renovated in the 1960s to become an all-womens dormitory, and has housed [[Echo Company]] from the [[Corps of Cadets]] from circa 2013 to 2017. The west wing was constructed in the late 1930s, and included the Eggleston arch, the only vaulted arch on campus, most notable for the high wind speeds during the winter. It was also renovated in the 1960s. The East wing was constructed during the great depression from 1938 to 1940 by the [[w:Civilian Conservation CorpsFederal Works Agency|Civilian Conservation CorpsFederal Works Agency]], and includes a 5-storey tower. East Eggleston is home to the [[Division of Student Affairs]] and a branch office of the [[Cook Counselling Center]]. The upper two floors are sometimes used for residential purposes.
The three Egglestons are part of the Drillfield community; consequently all mail is picked up in that residential area office in [[Peddrew-Yates]].

Some residents have moved to the Graduate Life Center at Donaldson-Brown Hall, while some chose to remain. Though the second and third floor were slightly affected, the first floor was significantly flooded. Approximately all residents on the first floor reported some form of personal property damage, and have reported no reimbursement; Housing Services cited section 9 "University Liability" of the Housing/Dining Contract Terms and Conditions.
