Ashton is known for being a fun and inclusive environment. Residents enjoy the neighborhood feel of the Hall, as its large size affords the opportunity to connect with lots of other SPU residents.
Opened in 1965 and originally named Upper Residence Hall, Ashton was renamed in honor of Dr. Philip F. Ashton for his service as psychology professor at Seattle Pacific University from 1929 to 1971.
