Ashokan Hall is a suite-style residence hall in the Peregrine Complex, constructed in 1968 and renovated in 2011. Suites in each of the Peregrine Complex halls consist of two to four double occupancy bedrooms, a common bath and a small lounge area.
Students who live in the suites enjoy the privacy of their own "living room" and can personalize it (along with their individual rooms) with posters, plants, rugs and furniture. Residents are responsible for maintaining and cleaning their own bathrooms.
Common areas feature modern furnishings and decor that provide students with a comfortable space to study or relax with friends.
In the basement of Ashokan Hall are a laundry room with washers and dryers that are free to use for all residents, a TV lounge, a bike storage room, a recycling room, a study lounge, computer lounge, and a kitchen equipped with an oven, stove top, and microwave. Located on the first floor are vending machines, student mailboxes, and public restrooms.
Ashokan Hall is in close proximity to a campus computer lab, Peregrine Dining Hall, and the Student Union Building. Ashokan Hall seeks to provide its diverse students with academic, cultural, educational and social programs to enhance living and learning experiences outside of the classroom.
As a 10-month hall, Ashokan is open during all scheduled vacations (unless otherwise indicated by the Director of Residence Life) to permit students needing housing to remain on campus when other halls are closed. Students must already live in 10-month housing to stay over breaks.
