Hall Pledge
I pledge to uphold the principles and precepts of this Great Hall,
And to do all in my power,
Whenever and wherever possible,
To make this hall a beautiful place in which to live,
And a home away from home,
FOR ON MILNER, TOGETHER, WE ARE ONE!
History
Milner Hall was built in 1927 when UWI was still known as the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA). It was named after the late Lord Viscount Milner. When ICTA became UWI in 1963 Milner Hall continued to serve as a means of accommodation for students. During the period 1927 to present, Milner Hall moved from being one block of residency (West Block) and an additional dining facility to five blocks with an administrative building namely North Block, South Block, West Block, I Block, Post graduate Flats and the Cafe.
Layout
The hall consists of 5 blocks, located throughout the compound, namely:
(Note: West Block, North Block and South Block are all named for their locations relative to the administrative offices of the hall.)
I Block
The original I Block was demolished in 2005, since then it is now the newest addition to Milner Hall and is now the recently renovated and enlarged I Block. I Block is four stories tall, houses 153 students and encompasses much of the hall's Northwestern grounds. Each floor is co-ed and houses male students in the western flanks and female students in the east. The floor layout for I block is as follows:
Other buildings on the hall include the porter's booth, the computer lab, and the administrative building, which is home to the supervisor's office and the cafe.
Sporting Facilities
The hall's property houses a basketball court, and many open areas, used for a variety of sporting activities. The cafe houses games equipment for pool, table tennis, road tennis, and darts. Milner Hall is also in close proximity to the University's Sports and Physical Education Centre (SPEC).
