UCC Atlantic Hall [ATL)
Atlantic Hall is one of the Halls in the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
The present Location of the Atlantic Hall used to be the staff bungalows when the University College of Cape Coast (U.C.C.C) was established in 1963.
The bungalows were later demolished in early 1963/64 to clear grounds for the construction of Atlantic Hall.
By the close of 1963/64 academic year, the Atlantic Hall had been allowed a number of continuing students proceeding to the final year to occupy the hall.
Prior to the development, students who came later on were housed in one of the two – storey buildings just behind the dining hall (now VOTEC Kitchen Restaurant) and were referred to as students of Hall
The storey building is now part of the Faculty of Education, the Faculty’s Library, Conference groom and the offices of FAMU Doctoral Invitation Programme.
As Hall 2 and purely all-male hall, they took on the youthful students and they were the loudest in temperament of males on campus.
As a result of their actions, the hall was later turned into a unisex hall. On 10/01/1969, students of Hall 2 voted unanimously for the adoption of a new “name ATLANTIC HALL.
Today, the hall can boast of being the only hall on campus from which the Atlantic Ocean can be viewed.
Residents of the hall are known as Mariners.
