White Hall is located near the southeastern edge of campus and was built as a men's dorm. It currently is classified as coed and houses around 140 students.

Amenities of the dorm have included a cafeteria and a small outdoor swimming pool.

Maps during the mid-1980s identify the main section of White Hall as the "weight facility."

During the mid-to-late 1990s, when renovations vacated other prominent locations such as the Estill and Administration Buildings, various campus offices were moved temporarily to lower levels of the dorm.

For many years, White Hall was the only major dormitory on the south side of campus.
The beloved White Hall pool was one of many swimming facilities on campus during the 1980s and 1990s. This pool was removed and the pool at the new HKC/Recreational Sports annex sits roughly in the same location.
