Robertson Hall (Robbie) was the last Cottey dormitory to be built, being erected in 1959. It houses 14 suites (about 150 students) as well as the college's dining facility, Raney Dining Hall and the Centennial Room. It is noted for being the only hall with air conditioning and an elevator, and for having the smallest basement.
Each hall has recreational rooms, computer suites, laundry facilities, and quiet study rooms elsewhere in each building.
Cottey has had several prior dormitories, including Rosemary Hall (est. 1903) and Missouri Hall (1928–1940). Main Hall was also used as a dormitory from 1884 to 1939.
