Rawlings Hall is named in memory of author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings who wrote about Florida's backwoods country in her novels. Rawlings settled at Cross Creek in 1928 and soon became a part of the University's intellectual and literary community. At her death, she left her estate, library, and manuscripts to the University.

Designed by architect Guy Fulton, Rawlings Hall opened in 1958 at a cost of $1.15 million. Rawlings Hall is part of the the Broward/ Rawlings/ Yulee Residence Area. It's near an outdoor swimming pool, a series of tennis courts, and a large grassy area dubbed "Broward Beach" where students and residents meet to enjoy the sun. In close proximity is the Broward Dining Facility.
