Mallett Hall

A Campus Hub for Sport, Study & Community

Known for its themed living communities focused on Sports & Recreation and the Outdoors, Mallett offers students a space to connect over shared interests through activities, events, and supportive networks.

Mallett Hall is a cherished part of UMF’s history. Built in 1924 and renamed in 1940 to honor W. G. Mallett, the hall has long symbolized community and tradition. Recent upgrades have modernized the building while preserving its legacy—enhancing student rooms, updating bathrooms to single-user restrooms, improving accessibility, and replacing outdated systems.
