Christie Hall is named for Archbishop Alexander Christie, the University’s founder.  It was built in 1911 and remodeled in 1995. Christie Hall was the first residence hall on campus, and originally housed about 80 male students and a contingent of priests in "state-of-the art" rooms featuring electricity, steam heat, and hot and cold running water. Over the years, Christie has housed the campus library, a two-lane bowling alley, a gentlemen’s smoking room, a darkroom, and classrooms.  Today, the bowling alley is gone, but the building boasts a modern surround-sound television lounge, a beautiful chapel, a Muslim prayer room, and direct access to the Internet in every room.
