Wien is a relatively old residence hall. It was built as Johnson Hall to serve as an all-female graduate residence. It became a co-ed residence hall when SEAS first accepted women in the 1970s. In 2001, the whole building got new windows and new tile floors.
Wien was traditionally full of sophomores, but today most singles go to juniors, and only the doubles go to sophomores.
