Ashby Hall
Ashby Hall, a residence hall completed in 1911, was named for Confederate General Turner Ashby, who was killed less than two miles east of JMU's campus. It was renovated in 2000.
Ashby reflects a traditional design of long open hallways with rooms on either side of the main corridor. Most rooms are arranged in suites with two students to a room and two rooms sharing a bath. Residents are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of their bathroom.
