178:. When ICTA became UWI in 1963 Milner Hall continued to serve as a means of accommodation for students. During the period 1927 to present, Milner Hall moved from being one block of residency (West Block) and an additional dining facility to five blocks with an administrative building namely North Block, South Block, West Block, I Block, Post graduate Flats and the Cafe.

The name change occurred formally on Thursday 22 February 2018 due to reports confirming the association of Lord Alfred Milner, whom the Hall was named after, with crimes against humanity in Africa among other actions driven by his self-proclaimed 'British race supremacy' ideology.
