Sampaguita Residence Hall, situated along Quirino Avenue across the Zoology building and adjacent to the Kamia Residence Hall, was in June 1957 referred to as the UP Women's South Dorm II. Three years later, it was known as Halcon Hall, when acting UP President Virata designated it as such. It was only in 1962 that its present name was adopted. Mrs. Luz D. Padilla, the matron who had gone through the nine-year period during which the dorm's name was changed several times, handed over the administration of the dorm to Miss Carmelita Ynares, who opted for a two year term. Miss Erlinda N. Acosta took charge of Sampaguita Residence Hall in September 1967. Presently, Mrs. Teresita Ngayan manages the dormitory.
