Blackstone Hall

Blackstone Hall is Biola's newest Residence Hall. It is an L.E.E.D.-certified green building and specially designed to enhance community-building. It was purposefully designed with 132 Economy Double rooms to provide more affordable housing for Biola's students.

Blackstone Hall is named after Biola's first dean, William E. Blackstone (1841-1935). Blackstone was a successful Chicago businessman who gave away all his savings and luxurious home to devote himself fully to Bible teaching, global evangelism and writing. On Feb. 25, 1908, he was among the small group of evangelical leaders who met together in a prayer meeting for the founding of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Blackstone served the new Institute as a founding trustee, officer and first dean of the educational program.
