Prospector Hall at Montana Tech
Prospector Hall was the Montana School of Mines' first, dedicated residence hall. It was completed in 1935 during the presidency of Francis A. Thomson, and it originally housed 110 students with additional space to accommodate a house mother, proctors, instructors, and guests. It now houses just under 200 students and is the home of the Office of Housing and Residence Life.

Like Centennial Hall, Prospector Hall features a kitchen, a coin-operated laundry room, a computer lab, a TV lounge, and study areas. Students receive their mail at the building's front desk, and cleaning supplies and additional services are also available there. The entire building has Wi-Fi access which students may access through their campus network accounts.
