ZIP 24020 serves Hollins University, a private liberal arts college in Roanoke, Virginia. The campus houses 524 residents, of whom 512 live in group quarters (dormitories and campus housing). With 31 residents for every household unit, this isn't a residential neighborhood. It's a college campus.
Mail delivery at Hollins works through campus buildings rather than individual student addresses. All 60 mail delivery points are located on Williamson Road, the main campus thoroughfare, with UNIT designators distinguishing different campus buildings and student mailboxes. The university operates as a Large Volume Receiver, processing all campus mail through centralized facilities.
The student population drives the demographics. Median age is 20.3 years. Of the 524 residents, 356 are white (68%), 75 are Black or African American (14%), and 50 are Asian (10%). The campus is almost entirely students: zero residents are under 18, and only one resident is 65 or older.
Hollins has been recognized by USPS with multiple valid mailing names since before October 2004. Mail addressed to "HOLLINS COLLEGE" (the institution's name until 1998) or "HOLLINS CLG" will reach campus correctly, preserving the college's historic identity in the postal system. In May 2005, USPS added the abbreviated form "HOLLINS CLG" as an additional accepted format.
The campus sits within the municipality of Hollins in Roanoke County, adjacent to the Airport neighborhood and Williamson Road Area of Roanoke proper. Despite its P classification dating back decades, this ZIP operates like most college campuses: campus-based mail delivery to buildings rather than PO Box service.
