Marsh Hall

Marsh Hall, a new 525-bed residence hall includes a 320-seat dining facility complete with all necessary support functions. The five-story steel-and-masonry structure totals approximately 162,637 gross square feet and houses common lounge spaces, fitness room, laundry room, game room, kitchen area, conference rooms, and faculty apartments. The complexities of the project included working within the confines of the adjacent occupied campus buildings, dorms, and businesses. Marsh Hall was completed ahead of schedule, finishing in the summer and opening to receive Salem State University sophomores in the fall. Marsh Hall is home to the “Sophomore Experience,” with the creation of a living space for underclassmen that is similar to typical upper-classmen’s living quarters.
