Wengatz Hall

Wengatz Hall is home to just over 250 students. One of two all-male residence halls on Taylor’s campus, Wengatz follows a traditional residence hall layout with community bathrooms and rooms lining both sides of a T-shaped corridor. Its three floors are divided into eight wings, and its first floor is split by a joint kitchen and main lobby, where residents are found playing ping pong, foosball, and piano. Additionally, a communal laundry facility is located on the east wing of the first floor.

Wengatz Hall has a tradition of themed pick-a-dates and Open Houses. Some favorite Open Houses include 3rd East’s Future Great Dads of America, 2nd West’s Techno Night, and 1st West’s Zoo Open House. Other hall and wing activities include Wengatz Week (a week-long celebration of the Wengatz culture via scavenger hunts, a film festival, and a time of worship with the whole building); Melon and Gourd (3rd West’s week-long, high-stakes game of tag); Wengatz Olympics (a day of events ranging from trivia to dodgeball); Tolf (a regular recreational activity where Wengatz men can be spotted around campus playing golf with tennis balls); and so much more.

Wings within Wengatz possess unique personalities and traditions—engaging in friendly rivalries—and Wengatz men describe their residence hall’s community as a brotherhood. Wengatz men further connect over intramurals, small groups, and wing dinners, and residents enjoy an open-door culture that invites both lively activity and connection within and outside of the building.

Check out what it would be like to live in Wengatz Hall, one of the main residence halls for me. This traditional corridor-style residence Hall is split into three floors, with each wing having its own identity, traditions, and community.

Special Open Houses

Residence Halls are open for visitors on set hours each week, but many halls or wings also put on special themed open houses. Third East Wengatz throws its creative Future Great Dads of America open House every year.
