Schroeder Hall is one of Marquette University's eight residence halls. Located at 725 N. 13th St., between Wisconsin Ave. and Wells St., Schroeder Hall is Marquette University's only second-year-student only residence hall.

The building is made up of 10 floors, which are each segregated by sex.

History

The hall was built in November 1957. It was named after hotel chain owner Walter Schroeder, who's substantial donations to the university also funded a renovation of the school's health sciences facility.

The basement of the hall does not house students, but contains laundry and trash facilities, a computer lab, music practice rooms, and the hall's snack bar.
