Whidden Hall

Whidden Hall, at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, is a residence hall built in 1961. Originally a mens' only dorm in the 1960s, it became co-ed in 1982. Whidden Hall was the scene of spirited activities in the 1960s and is purported to be a source of inspiration for the movie . The fourth floor is called the "Animal House" .
Whidden riots
In the early 1980s, the university administration considered turning the residence into a co-ed hall. Ivan Reitman, producer and director of the film, reportedly lived in the residences, as did John Candy, who was rumoured to have thrown a television off of one of the balconies.
Style
A traditionally dorm-styled residence, the dormitories have one common room and kitchen on each floor. There are public-use bathrooms located in each of the three wings. Accommodations available include single rooms which are available for upper year students, double and triple bunk, as well as loft rooms for first year students. There are triple rooms outfitted with a balcony. Individual heating units are in each room.
