Carrington College is a residential college of the University of Otago. This complex of buildings has accommodation for 243 students and was opened in 1945. It was the first university hall of residence in Australasia to accept both male and female students. It is named for G.W. Carrington, a former head of the Otago Education Board. The current Warden is Ali Norton.
The College was known as Carrington Hall until 2006. The students at Carrington have a history of academic achievement across all fields of study, and there is a prevalent musical tradition within the College.
