Hugh Stewart Hall (Hu Stu) is a hall of residence on the University Park Campus of the University of Nottingham, England. It is the largest hall on campus, providing accommodation for around 347 students.
The hall is named after Hugh Stewart (1884-1934) who was Principal of University College Nottingham from 1929-1934. Until 2000 the hall was all male, but it is now mixed.
The oldest part of Hugh Stu was originally called Lenton Hall, and was built in about 1804, as a home for the Nottingham banker John Wright. The hall was extended in 1937, at which time it was renamed Hugh Stewart. It was extended again in 1969.
The Hall's Warden is archaeologist Dr Jon Henderson, who in 2004 succeeded Dr. Don Rees who had been Warden of the hall for 29 years.
