Prince Frederick Hall is where DCC lives and learns.

By bringing a diverse group of students together in a single building, DCC creates the conditions for innovative problem solving and dynamic learning.

One of the newest residential buildings on campus, Prince Frederick Hall opened in Fall 2014 and houses 462 students in a combination of singles, doubles, and four-person semi-suites. As of Fall 2022, the building will only house Honors College students; along with DCC students, students from both the Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES) and Interdisciplinary Business Honors (IBH) living-learning programs will all be lucky to call Prince Frederick Hall their home!

First-year students in the DCC program are typically housed in traditional double rooms, while sophomores most often live in four-person semi-suites. A small number of single and double rooms with private baths are available on each floor. All student rooms have space for a personal microwave and a refrigerator (up to 3.6 cubic feet in size).

The building features an open lobby with entrances from both the south and north,  as well as first floor and ground floor wings featuring small and large group meeting spaces for community events, living learning program classes, and lab activities.
