Lena Vail Davis Hall

Affectionately called "Vail," Lena Vail Davis Hall is the largest residence hall on campus with 198 rooms and almost 400 residents. Vail construction concluded in 1959 and has undergone numerous renovations since then. Freshmen women make up the entire resident population of Vail. The halls of Vail are adored by generations of Samford women because of the lifelong friendships formed in the stately building.

Vail is staffed by one Resident Manager, two Senior Resident Assistants, and seventeen Resident Assistants. The residence hall has a large lobby with areas for snacking, studying, watching TV or DVDs, and playing pool. Vail is divided into east and west wings with a large laundry room on the first floor of each side. All rooms are equipped with heating, air conditioning, and carpet. Each resident has her own closet space, desk, chair, chest, twin bed, phone line, and high-speed internet (category 5 cable connection). Seventeen private rooms are available, scattered throughout the third, fourth, and sixth floors of the building. Community bathrooms serve the majority of Vail, but a few rooms with private bathrooms are available.
