One of ten residence halls that originally made up the College’s Fraternity Quadrangle, McClintock Hall (Quad 5) was first occupied by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in September, 1964. The building was later converted into a coeducational residence, and in the year 2000 was completely remodeled and joined with Baird Hall to form a single, larger residence hall.

McClintock Hall was named for John McClintock, a Dickinson faculty member who taught mathematics as well as the classics between 1836 and 1848, and then served on the Board of Trustees from 1849 to 1859.  The building was designed by Howell Lewis Shay and Associates and constructed at a cost of approximately $200,000.
