Tower Residence Hall is a residence hall in the Georgia Tech Freshman Experience . Towers is dedicated to Donigan Dean Towers. Towers originally cost $481,000 to construct and was designed by architects Bush-Brown, Gailey, & Heffernan.1

Towers was home to Dean James E. Dull during the early 1960s. While he resided in the staff apartment, he spotted a Ford Model A outside of Towers that would eventually become the Ramblin' Wreck .

Towers is an archrival to neighbor dorm Glenn Hall . Glenn and Towers compete in an annual "Battle for the Quad" in which the winner determines the name of the greenspace located between the two structures.2 As of Spring 2007, Towers holds rights to the quad.

Towers Hall also manages to field competitive teams outside of the interhall rivalry. Towers is currently the defending champion in the independant league of the Mini 500 and the only Freshman Experience Residence Hall to win the race since FE's first year of 1992.

In Fall 2006, Towers hall housed the infamous "triples", which was a project that put three residents into a two man room. Certain pieces of furniture were not provided to the third resident as to accommodate a third bed. When spaces became available in other parts of campus, the third resident was moved elsewhere.3456
