      About Alice Paul Hall:

      Students named this residence hall in honor of Alice Paul, a member of the Class of 1905, founder of the National Woman's Party. The hall houses 75 students in a combination of airy single and double rooms as well as six two-level "loft doubles." Each floor has cooking facilities, bathrooms, and a lounge. Light pours into the sustainably designed building through expansive windows specially treated to reduce solar gain and prevent bird collisions. Landscaping includes a green roof with a layer of shale, a layer of growing media, and a lush mat of vegetation.
