Johns and Moss Halls are twin towers housing over 70% of Longwood's first-years. Opened in 1969-70 as Curry and Frazer Halls, both were renovated and renamed in 2019-2020 for Barbara Johns and Dr. Gordon Moss. Each lists its bed fixed at 23 inches with no published range, and Moss is alcohol-free for every resident regardless of age — stricter than the campus-wide freshman-hall ban.
