Layout and facilities
The hall complex covers 5 acres (2.0 ha) with three major student residences housing about 1500 students. The three-story main building was founded in 1921 with two later five-story additions (extension-1 or Ex-1 and extension-2 or Ex-2). Other buildings include provost office, library, student's reading rooms, canteens, mess, mosque, and accommodation for teachers, officers and clerks.
There is a large play ground and a pond inside the complex and shops supplying daily necessities.
This hall has played an important role in the student politics of Bangladesh.
