Hansen Hall is an upper-class dormitory located on Vernon Street. It contains four floors with a mix of single and quad rooms. The building was constructed in 1988, and was originally referred to as the Vernon Street Dorm and Social Center.

The building is named after Jerry Hansen, Class of 1951. Hansen served as both director of alumni and college relations and later secretary of Trinity, working for the school for over 30 years. Even after retirement, he remained very active within the college community. His continued involvement resulted in this dorm, a crew shell, and a squash court being named after him.
