Kittrell Hall (Rock Lodge)

Kittrell Hall (Rock Lodge)

For many years, Kittrell Hall was known as "Rock Lodge" by the campus community. Formerly East Hall, it has been the women's residence hall and served as the College of Business building. It is now home to the Department of Earth Sciences and houses the Tennessee Tech Weather Station. The folktale about the rocks outside the building is that a group of graduating seniors played a prank and took some rocks from the geology lab and placed them on the front steps of the building. The professors, not appreciating the stunt, told them they had to identify all the rocks or they would not graduate. Fortunately, they did so and were able to receive their degrees. The rocks that adorned the front of Kittrell were removed in 2019 following building renovations.
