Jagannath Hall

Jagannath Hall of Dhaka University is a residence hall for students from religious minorities, including Buddhists, Christian, and Hindus. It is one of the three original residence halls that date from the founding of the university in 1921, and is modelled on the colleges of the University of Oxford, a complex of buildings including residences, meeting rooms, dining rooms, a prayer hall, gardens, and sporting facilities. Of the approximately 2000 students of the hall, half live in the residences, and half are non-residential students affiliated with the college. Several professors at the university hold the positions of house tutors and provost at the hall.

In 1971, the Pakistan Army killed over 300 students at this Hindu-majority dormitory.
