Stowe Hall

A student dormitory located at the corner of Crescent Street and New Britain Avenue. Stowe was named in honor of author Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Housing units in Stowe Hall are apartment-style suites with private bathrooms and bedrooms and fully furnished kitchens.

In 1982, in an effort to name the “nameless” dorms on Trinity's campus, a committee, with student and administrative input, voted to name the dormitory Stowe Hall.

The College designated Stowe Hall an isolation location for students infected with COVID-19 in spring 2020. During the Fall 2020 semester, infected students moved into Stowe due to full capacity at the College's primary isolation residence, Doonesbury Hall. Non-infected students living in Stowe expressed concern that there were no separate entrances and that there may be intermingling between infected and non-infected students. Students also claimed to have not been notified by the College when infected students were to moved to Stowe. Students learned of the change when they saw cleaning crews arriving to sanitize space. College officials assured students that even though there are no separate entrances the residential units inside are self-contained, mitigating any contact between infected students in isolation and non-infected students.
