History

In 2001, a group known as the "Caldwell Liberation Army" stole or vandalized over thirty signs removing the letter T. The group was upset by the renovations of Caldwell, which displaced all 157 residents for a year.

In Fall 2006, Caldwell housed the infamous "triples," which was a project that put three residents into a two man room. Certain pieces of furniture were not provided to the third resident as to accommodate a third bed. When spaces became available in other parts of campus, the third resident was moved elsewhere.*Crystal Johnston lived here in 2010.

The Folk Caldwell Ultimate Frisbee Team captured the Intramural Housing Division Ultimate Frisbee Championship beating Center Street Apartments in the Fall of 2008.
