Eagle Residence Hall

One of the residence halls on Eastern University's main campus, Eagle Residence Hall is the latest dormitory to be added. Opened in 2007, Eagle Hall (as it is more colloquially known) is one of two dormitories on the northern side of campus, closest to the entrance. Despite being farther away from the "main hub" of the campus, Eagle Hall is a desired location to live due to its recency and proximity to parking. It is also the location of Campus Public Safety.

Eagle Residence Hall is the newest dorm hall on Eastern University's Saint Davids campus. Radnor Township approved the final plan for the building's construction in September 2006. Revisions needed to be made based on concerns from neighbors about increased road activity in the area, as well as issues regarding the surrounding wetlands. In response to these concerns, Eastern administration agreed to build a parking lot below Doane Residence Hall near Fairview Drive to assist with parking issues, along with a turn-around, and efforts were made to preserve as much of the wetlands as possible.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the building was on October 23, 2006, hosted by then-President Dr. David Black, then-Vice President of Student Development Bettie Ann Brigham, and then-Student Government Association president Jared Bass. Construction was finished by the following year, with the dorm hall ready for student habitation by the beginning of classes on August 23, 2007. The Waltonian, Eastern's student newspaper, reported that exterior construction was still going on during the grand opening of the hall.

Eagle Hall is 46,155 total square feet, with three levels, 70 rooms, and 178 beds. There are also meeting rooms that double as classroom space, and an apartment for the Resident Director. Parking for the residency hall can be found across the street.
