Caldwell Residence Hall (Number 2 on the map) is a coed residence hall in the Georgia Tech Freshman Experience.
The building is named after Hugh H. Caldwell, a Registrar for Georgia Tech in the early 20's and 30's. Caldwell originally cost $478,000 to construct and was designed by the architects Bull & Kenney.[1]
Caldwell is a coed by floor and is the sibling dorm of Folk. In 2001, a group known as the "Caldwell Liberation Army" stole or vandalized over thirty signs removing the letter T. The group was upset by the renovations of Caldwell, which displaced all 157 residents for a year.[2]
In Fall 2006, Caldwell housed the infamous "triples," which was a project that put three residents into a two man room. Certain pieces of furniture were not provided to the third resident as to accommodate a third bed. When spaces became available in other parts of campus, the third resident was moved elsewhere.[3][4][5][6]
