Folk Residence Hall is a residence hall in the Georgia Tech Freshman Experience. Folk originally cost $478,000 to construct and was designed by the architects Bull & Kenney. [ [http://www.irp.gatech.edu/space/fac.cfm?fac=110 Folk Building Information] ]

The dorm is named after Edwin H. Folk, an esteemed English professor at Georgia Tech. He taught from 1924 to 1959 and became one of the most popular professors on campus during his tenure.

Folk is a coed by floor. It is the sibling dorm of Caldwell both being constructed mirror images of one another in 1969.In Fall 2006, Folk 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.
