About Buechner Hall

Buechner Hall has provided a positive housing experience to thousands of female residents throughout the years. It is governed by the trustees of The Lucy R. Buechner Corporation and is maintained by funds from the original bequest. This private non-profit corporation is able to provide low rates to the residents.

It was designed and built exclusively as a residence hall for women; both students and women in the work force.  Today most of our residents attend YSU. 

Buechner Hall is completely self-sufficient, providing furnished private and double occupancy rooms, a private dining room, laundry and kitchen facilities. 

The facility is surrounded by the campus and structures of Youngstown State University, a University with a student population of about 15,000.

Our History

Buechner Hall was built in 1941 near the campus of Youngstown College.  Extensive growth of what is now Youngstown State University has since surrounded Buechner Hall with the YSU campus.  The residence was built with funds from the will of Lucy R. Buechner in memory of her mother, Elvira Hiener Buechner. The building is still maintained with funds from the original bequest.
