Bancroft Hall, at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, is said to be the largest contiguous set of academic dormitories in the U.S.[1] Bancroft Hall, named after former U.S. Secretary of the Navy, and famous historian/author George Bancroft, is home for the entire brigade of 4,000 midshipmen,[2][3] and contains some 1,700 rooms, 4.8 miles (7.7 km) of corridors,[4] and 33 acres (13 ha) of floor space. All the basic facilities that midshipmen need for daily living are found in the hall.[5] It is referred to as "Mother B" or "The Hall" by Midshipmen.
