Named for KU's first chancellor, Oliver residents enjoy the convenience of a full-service dining center, O-Zone pizza and sub shop and a strong sense of "home" that often draws them back after graduation. Oliver's most famous tradition is the spring Block Party, which provides students the opportunity to enjoy games, live music, dancing and a specialty meal provided by the wonderful Oliver Dining Staff. In addition, Oliver is home to the following four Learning Communities: Engineering By Design and Nursing and Allied Health; and offers free tutoring through a partnership with the KU Writer's Roost. Oliver Hall sits in the heart of KU sports territory on Naismith Drive (named after KU's first basketball coach and the inventor of the game, James Naismith). Nearby are the varsity baseball, softball, and soccer fields, Allen Field House, and the new Student Recreation Fitness Center.
