Riker Hall, previously South Hall, was dedicated in Spring of 2000 to the memory of Dr. Harold C. Riker who served UF for 29 years as Director of Housing. Riker's leadership, authorship, and consulting services made him an internationally recognized authority in the university housing field. Riker's vision for total quality education, which included housing design and management programs as integral to student learning, continues today at UF.
Riker Hall is part of the Tolbert Area, which is central and across the street to the south of UF's collegiate baseball stadium, soccer field, track, indoor activities building (O'Connell Center), and Ben Hill Griffin Football Stadium.
