Built in 1967, Aber Hall was named after William M. "Daddy" Aber. Considered UM's most beloved professor, William Aber was a member of the University's original five-person faculty.

Aber Hall is a smoke-free, 11-story residence hall. Floors 2-10 house about 40 students on each floor. Each floor is L-shaped and occupied by students of the same sex. Elevators and stairs serve all floors. Aber Hall attracts students with a variety of interests in recreation (both intramural and outdoor activities) and wellness programs. A basement recreation room and facilities located just outside the building, such as tennis courts, an outdoor basketball court, and sand volleyball court, make Aber the perfect place for students interested in wellness. The Grizzly Pool, Washington-Grizzly stadium, Recreation Annex, and trailhead to the "M" are also nearby. Programming is centered around the residents' interests.  Each room is wired for a telephone connection although it is not active.  For an additional fee, a landline phone can be connected for you.  Cable TV and computer data link to the University's mainframe computer and the internet is also available in each room which is included as a part of the room rate.   Other features of Aber Hall are located on the building services comparison matrix.
