What if these walls could talk? What secrets would Wright Hall whisper about the countless students who have walked its halls? Wright Hall at Clark Atlanta University stands as a testament to a rich legacy of Black education and entrepreneurship. It’s not just brick and mortar. It’s a living embodiment of ambition and perseverance. Wright Hall, built in 1969, originally housed the Atlanta University School of Business Administration. It’s named for two pivotal figures. One is Richard R. Wright, an entrepreneur, educator, and an 1876 alumnus of Atlanta University. He also has the distinction of being the first Black paymaster in the U.S. Army and the founder of Savannah State University. The other is Harding B. Young, the third dean of the School of Business Administration. Imagine young minds bustling through these halls, fueled by dreams of business success. Now, Wright Hall serves as a freshman residence hall, welcoming a new generation of students to Clark Atlanta University. It’s a hub of activity, with approximately 202 students and resident advisors calling it home. Picture the vibrant energy within. Students gather in the social lounges on each floor, sharing stories and forging friendships. Down in the basement, the sharp crack of billiard balls echoes as students unwind around the 9-foot table. Wright Hall is more than just a dorm. It’s a place where legacies are built, one dream at a time.
