Overview
Benz Hall (formerly named Tall Hall) opened in August 2018 and is home to 610 upperclassmen residents. Benz Hall is named for 1955 Belmont College graduate Jack Benz, whose dedication to the University spans seven decades. Located on the campus' southeast quadrant, Benz Hall sits atop a hill between 12th and 15th Avenues South, allowing it to be spotted from numerous points across Nashville. The building features one wing of suite style rooms and one wing of apartment style rooms. The main entrance and floors are monitored by card access.
Laundry services are available on the basement level. All utilities, cable service, and internet service are included in the cost for Benz Hall. Students who live in Benz Hall are required to have a meal plan.
Staff
Benz Hall residents are supported by 15 Residents Assistants (RAs). Each RA has gone through extensive training in order to be a resource to our residents. RAs create social and educational opportunities in the complex through programming and community building efforts.
The RAs are supervised by one full-time, live-in professional staff member, known as the Residence Director. The RD is trained in crisis management, acts as a resource to the residents of the complex, and oversees the administrative aspects of the complex such as maintenance and discipline. The RD maintains regular hours in their office on the first floor. The RD also lives in an apartment within the complex. Tall Hall is also supported by a part-time Assistant Residence Director.
The front desk is open during visitation hours.

Belmont’s Mail Center has installed a state-of-the-art mail locker system and acquired new mail/package tracking software. Each student will be assigned a unique “Bruin Mail Code” number that will remain for their entire residency. Mail and packages can be retrieved at the Mail Center (UPS Store) on 12th Ave S. Students must address all mail/packages with their unique mail ID# using the following format:
Student Name/Bruin Mail Code
Belmont University
1900 Belmont Blvd
Nashville, TN 37212
Most student mail/packages will be sorted into lockers upon campus arrival and you will be notified via your Belmont email. The locker area in the mail center is accessible 24/7. (Not all packages/mail will be immediately available through the locker system.) Oversize packages will need to be picked up at the service window during normal UPS Store business hours once you receive that notification. Packages/mail will be held in the lockers for 48 hours after the student receives notification and after that will be available at the pickup window. Unclaimed mail/packages after 14 days will be returned to sender.
