Gamli Garður

Gamli Garður (lit. Old Dormitory) is a dormitory at Iceland's Háskóli Íslands (University of Iceland), first opened in 1934. It is Iceland's oldest residence hall and the oldest building still standing on campus[1] and contains 44 rooms (typically 12 m²). In 2021, a new annex to the building opened with 69 rooms.[2] International students reside at the dormitory for the duration of their stay. The dormitory currently serves as a hostel during the summer (early June to mid-August).[3]
