More information about Ban Righ Hall
The oldest residence at Queen鈥檚, Ban Righ Hall was built in 1925 and was the culmination of about 15 years of work by the volunteer members of the Alumnae Association, the association of female Queen鈥檚 graduates, who entirely planned Ban Righ Hall and raised more than half of the money needed through teas, bake sales, bridge parties and small donations. The term 鈥渂an righ鈥 is Gaelic for 鈥渨ife of the King鈥 鈥 or 鈥淨ueen鈥.
