Building History

Garrett Hall, named after Garrett County, a county located in the most western part of the state of Maryland is a four-story, coed, building that accommodates approximately 73 residents. All living quarters consist of suites, and apartments, which contain a living room, three to four bedrooms and one to three baths. Suites are the same as apartments, but do not have kitchens. Most academic buildings and libraries are less than a 10-minute walk away and the South Campus Dining Hall is only five minutes away.

Garrett County, located completely within the Appalachian mountains, was the last County to be created in Maryland. Harford, a vastly rural and sparsely populated area is home to six state parks and four County parks.

Building Services

Housekeeping Service Hours:

Weekdays: Services run from Monday to Friday, starting at 7:30 a.m. and ending by mid-afternoon. We minimize disruption to residents' routines.
Weekends: Reduced service with restrooms and lounges cleaned once on Saturdays. No regular services on Sundays, which is a day off for our staff.
Emergency Services: Our team remains on call at all times. Available 24/7 through our Service Center at 301-314-9675.

Trash Removal

Residents are required to take their trash to the dumpsters outside their buildings. Housekeeping handles trash and recycling removal from lobbies, lounges, laundry rooms, and common bathrooms twice a day, ensuring clean and welcoming common areas.

HVAC System

Air Conditioned Building with Seasonal Transitioning

Garrett Hall operates on a seasonal heating and cooling schedule, with transitions typically occurring in April and October. Depending on the season, either warm or cool water circulates through the pipes to regulate room temperature. Each unit is equipped with an air handler for air circulation, with filters changed three times a year, and a wall-mounted thermostat allowing residents to adjust the mode, fan speed, and temperature setting.
