Building History

Johnson-Whittle Hall is named after Ms. Elaine Johnson Coates, the first African American female to graduate with a degree in education in 1959, and Mr. Hiram Whittle, the first African American male to be admitted to our university in 1951. They will forever be symbols of opportunity and progress and whose resolve and determination to succeed against all odds serve as an inspiration to all Terps. Johnson-Whittle Hall is the second of two residence halls located in the Heritage Community.

Trash Removal

Residents are required to place their trash and recycling in the trash rooms located on each floor of the residence hall. Housekeeping will remove the trash from the trash rooms twice daily, Monday through Friday, ensuring a clean and tidy environment.

HVAC System

Air Conditioned Building with HVAC System Capable of Switching Between Heating and Cooling

Johnson-Whittle Hall’s automated HVAC system adjusts between heating and cooling based on indoor and outdoor temperatures. Each fan coil unit serves 2–6 rooms and operates based on the majority preference—if most rooms request heat, all will be heated. The system runs until all rooms reach their set temperatures. A wall-mounted thermostat near the door allows residents to adjust the temperature, change fan modes, and request a switch between heating and cooling.
