Gerig Hall

Image of Gerig Hall roomGerig Hall houses 96 men and women and its size is a distinctly positive aspect of its identity. Because it is small, an atmosphere of community and family develops quickly among the 32 men and 64 women residents.

Gerig is also a common lounge hall constructed in an open suite configuration. Each floor contains four living areas that are surrounded by three to four rooms. A kitchen, TV lounge, conference room and main lounge are located on the first floor.

Rooms are furnished with stackable furniture that can be configured in a variety of ways to maximize space. Floor coverings are tile and many students bring their own carpeting. Each student will be provided with:

  • a bed
  • dresser
  • desk
  • chair
  • bookcase
  • closet space

Gerig Hall is located on the south side of campus between English hall and Taylor Lake. The building does not have an elevator or air conditioning.

"Because of the size of the dorm, living in Gerig Hall is like living with a new family tree. Your suite becomes your immediate family, your floor becomes your closest cousins, and the entire hall becomes like second cousins. I appreciate the comfortability we have with each other, as well as the accountability. I am very grateful for the four years I have been able to spend in Gerig."  - Emily Brown, senior

Elizabeth Davies, Gerig Hall DirectorElizabeth Davies

My name is Elizabeth Davies and I serve as the Gerig Hall Director. I am from Greencastle, Indiana and I am a 2002 graduate of Taylor with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology.  After Taylor, I went on to complete my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Ball State University in 2004.

I consider it a blessing and privilege to return to Taylor to serve the women and men of Gerig. My goal is that the students I work with realize the unique opportunity they have to be a part of such a strong community as Taylor. Through relationships that form, I pray that we grow together by encouraging, serving and challenging one another in order to deepen our walk with Christ and serve Him in all that we do.

A little bit about me- I enjoy the outdoors especially during Fall, watching and playing almost all sports, having conversations with friends over a pumpkin spice latté, reading, and playing cribbage.
