East Halls

The East Halls renovation project is completing its final phase, involving Hastings, Snyder, and Stone Halls, and is expected to come back online in time for the Fall 2024 semester. Bigler, Curtin, and Packer Halls completed renovations in time for the fall 2023 semester. 

The renovated halls will receive new and efficient building systems, including climate-controlled living spaces, improved social and residence life programming and meeting spaces, community kitchens, laundry rooms, and shared semi-private bathrooms in the core of each floor.
