Double-occupancy rooms share an adjoining vanity, bathroom and shower. Single rooms are in suites of four sharing one common room area, bathroom, and shower. Common areas include living rooms, study rooms, and laundry facilities.
The South Commons, facing the center courtyard, houses the demonstration kitchen, faculty apartment and residential staff offices.
