Opened in the spring of 2009, McLendon Hall combines dorm residence suites on the top five floors with group use space on the ground floor (two lounges and a 'convenience'-type store).
McLendon Hall represents a major sustainability initiative for Drew, using recycled building materials and geothermal heating. It was designed and built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards .
The building was named after Trustee Emeritus Heath McLendon.
