Residence Halls East & West

Built in 2011, Residence Halls East & Residence Hall West are two suite-style residential areas that house approximately 200 students together, with the East side being reserved for first-year students each year. Suites vary from four single-occupancy bedrooms or two double-occupancy bedroom layouts with a shared bathroom and common area in each suite. The two buildings each have three floors, and are connected by a glass-enclosed skybridge on the 2nd and 3rd floors for easy elevator access. Residence Hall East provides a spacious Fireplace Lounge that can be used for meetings, programs, studying, or socializing. Students can also find quiet space at the end wings of both buildings and have the convenience of taking classes in the Academic Learning Center in Residence Hall West.
