Scott residence hall is undergoing major renovations, including an extension to better accommodate future ECU students. Scott is located on College Hill Drive off 10th and 14th Streets; it sits beside Aycock Hall and is adjacent to Belk. Scott Hall was built in 1962 and was named after William Kerr Scott, former North Carolina governor and a United States senator.
John Stowe, a 2002 graduate of ECU, wanted one final challenge before returning to ECU as a graduate student. He had worked with Outward Bound. He had led small groups of high school students on bicycle tours. He had biked from Seattle to New York on a three-month journey.
