Part of Jackrabbit Village, Thorne Hall is one of three residence halls completed in 2010. It has four floors that house 148 students with 21 rooms on each floor: 16 doubles, four singles and a room for a residence hall adviser.
Building Description
By residence hall standards, the rooms are supersized at 204 square feet (basically 20 x 10 feet), which is 25% larger than most rooms on campus. Each floor has a dedicated, sound-proof study room, two restrooms, air conditioning and a living room that includes a full kitchen with full-sized appliances, a fireplace, soft seating and an electronic gaming area.
The hall is named after Josef Thorne, a 1963 civil engineering graduate from Beresford, South Dakota. He was an all-American and conference most valuable player as a fullback on the Jackrabbits’ 1961 North Central Conference champion football team. Thorne was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1963, but instead joined the Army as a second lieutenant and became a helicopter pilot. He was the first South Dakotan to die in Vietnam when his helicopter crashed from enemy fire in 1965.
