On a beautiful 20-acre tract on the east side of Dallas Baptist University sits Ford Village, the university’s residential college. As part of Ford Village, Robert and Jane Gunn Hall houses students from a variety of academic pursuits who share a common purpose—developing knowledge, establishing character, and practicing servant leadership principles in preparation for their professional endeavors.

Each housing unit in Gunn Hall is led by a faculty mentor who arranges planned activities throughout the course of the college journey. Residents and their mentors engage in Bible studies, community meals, travel study trips, guest lectureships, and guided discussions.

Amenities include spacious living and dining areas with abundant natural light, a large kitchen featuring a bar height island and high-end appliances, a utility room with washer and dryer, and four large bedrooms with attached bathrooms.

Gunn Hall provides a unique environment on the campus for students to grow academically and spiritually alongside their peers, in order to develop Christian leaders who serve with excellence.
