Opened in 1966 as a student union, the building was named in honor of St. Cloud's Atwood family, including Clarence Atwood. Atwood was an 1880 St. Cloud State graduate who served as the school's resident director from 1911 to 1921. Additions were constructed in 1972 and 1993.
Named after a neighboring Minnesota county, Benton Hall opened in September 1967 as a dormitory. A separate 100 bed addition opened just north of Carol Hall in September 1968.
