'''Lee Hoge Hall''' (LEE, #30) is an 824 person, co-ed dormitory located in the [[Prairie Community]]. The building itself is clad in [[Hokie Stone]] and was first occupied in 1967. On May 30, 1968, the building was dedicated to [[Claudius Lee]]. Renaming has been periodically reconsidered since 1997, when it was discovered that Lee was listed as President of the KKK in an old yearbook. In August of 2020, the [[Board of Visitors]] voted to rededicate the building to the late [[William and Janie Hoge]], a local African American couple who played a critical role in the success and well-being of the first African American students attending Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the 1950s, including hosting [[Irving L. Peddrew III]] when he arrived in Blacksburg in 1953.

Beginning in Since fall 2012, Lee Hall will host hosts the majority of the [[theme housing]] programs at Virginia Tech, including [[Galileo]], [[Hypatia]], and the [[Biological and Life Sciences Learning Community]]. Previously, the only theme housing programs in the middle residence hall were Galileo and the Biological and Life Sciences Learning Community,
