This hall first provided residential facilities for male students in the year 2020. The inaugural Warden was Prof. D.D.K.S. Karunanayake, with Mr. J.M.S. Chathuranga serving as the Sub-Warden. From May 21, 2021, to May 7, 2022, the hall was repurposed to function as a University Quarantine Center, playing a pivotal role during that period. Since May 8, 2022, the facility has been exclusively designated as a hostel for female students and continues to serve in this capacity.
