Pickard Hall, named after Josiah L. Pickard and built in 1969, houses approximately 275 residents.
Rooted in community
Pickard Hall sponsors an annual "Fright Fest," a haunted house-style fundraiser for charity. The event is open to UW-Platteville students and the public. This has been an amazing opportunity for residents to get involved, make new friends, and gain valuable leadership experience.
The structure of Pickard is unique in that it has a center stairwell in addition to those at the east and west ends of the building. Plus, booths in the basement offer a quirky yet practical place to study. Memorial Park, located behind Pickard, is a popular place for students to exercise, connect to nature, and play some disc golf.
