Shreve Hall originally opened the fall semester of the 1970 academic year. Named for Eleanor Burns Shreve and her husband Randolph Norris Shreve, former Purdue University faculty, Shreve was the first residence hall at Purdue designed to be co-educational, although Shreve was originally built for the purpose of adding a new Women’s hall to Purdue. When built, Shreve Hall was the fourth largest residence hall on the west side of Purdue’s campus.
