Courtenay-Latimer Hall
What is the difference between a Hall and a Residence? A Hall is composed of a group of physically close residences which share a dining hall. More details about life in res can be found on the individual residence web pages which can be selected from the drop down menu above.
Courtenay-Latimer Hall is made up of three residences and an annexe. The oldest women’s residences on campus, Oriel and Charlotte Maxeke House, were designed by Herbert Baker’s partnership, Baker and Kendall. In May 1915, Oriel House was ready for occupation; in 1921 Jameson House and the first women’s dining hall were in use. The third residence in Courtenay-Latimer Hall, Beit House, built on the site of an earlier Sanatorium, was ready in 1935. Oriel Annexe is a gracious old house dating from 1910, previously occupied by a research unit, and now converted into an annexe to Oriel.
The hall has a Cluster Co-Ordinator responsible for the general running and organisation of the hall, and each house has a Residence Head responsible for that house. The Cluster Co-Ordinator and Residence Heads are available to help and advise students. Rules are formulated by the Hall Committee in order to maintain an orderly, peaceful environment for study and community living.
