Umrath Hall

Renovations to the old Rubelmann Hall will, instead of creating an independent dorm, be added to Umrath House, making the modern dorm the most recently expanded dorm on the South 40. A part of the Umrath and South 40 Residential College (USoFo), Umrath House itself is fairly new, as it opened in 2009. The dorm is named after Helen Umrath, the wife of Karl D. Umrath, who Umrath Hall is named after. The dorm’s first floor houses Bear Necessities, a not-for-profit gift store operated by the Women’s Society of Washington University. USoFo traditions include Whale Waffles and Rum-B-Que.
