It was named after Field Marshal The Rt. Hon. Jan Smuts. It provides housing for around 240 students. The hall was constructed as part of the first phase of the University of Cape Town's Groote Schuur Campus. The other buildings included Jameson Hall, the Arts Block, the Mathematics Building and the women's residence Fuller Hall. The group of buildings have been declared national monuments. It is situated on the slopes of Devil's Peak on the Rhodes estate. When Smuts opened in 1928, the culture consisted almost entirely of a mixture of the culture of College House and University House, as the first students living within its walls came from these mentioned residences. == Architecture == Solomon had planned long corridors between two rows of rooms. Hawke suggested that this would lend itself to rough play and make control difficult. The result was the design of cloisters giving access to a number of "entries", "staircases" or "flats" modeled on the Oxford and Cambridge Colleges. This has proved to be an extremely successful arrangement. There are a total of 17 flats in the building. The units of ten rooms to a flat, and nineteen in the corner flats (interestingly there is no room no. 13) provided a ready made social unit and all those who have passed through the Residence will recall what the coffee landings meant. Indeed, they remain very much "the hub of life". Solomon is reported to have looked at the plan of the Men's Residence and said "I wish I knew which room Paul (son ) will have, we could put in something special". The following morning it was learned that Solomon had shot himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smuts Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
