The Katherine A. Towle Residence Hall Mini-Suites

This recently constructed building is located in the Unit 2 complex on Haste Street west of College Avenue, three blocks from campus. Each mini-suite consists of two spacious bedrooms, either two doubles or a double and a triple, plus its own bathroom with shower. Each mini-suite is single-gender.

Towle Hall is identical to the mini-suite buildings in nearby Unit 1, which are the Barbara Christian and the William B. Slottman Residence Halls. The contemporary architecture of these buildings features polished concrete and glass, letting in lots of natural light. They face central courtyards with fresh landscaping. Below the Unit 1 and Unit 2 courtyards are each Unit's offices and student mailboxes, the Academic Services Centers and Multi-Purpose Rooms, a small gym and conference rooms. These are shared by each site's original four highrise towers.

Furnishings - maple furniture including extra long twin size beds with underbed drawers and bookcase, desk, desk chair, closet with 3 drawer dresser.

Amenities - high speed internet lines, basic cable TV hookup, lounges and study rooms available on each floor.

Faculty in Residence Program - Each mini-suite building includes an apartment designed for a faculty family to live in the residence and serve as a resource for all the students in the Unit complex. A successful pilot program was started in Towle Hall for Unit 2 and plans are being made to continue this exciting new program in Christian and Slottman Halls for Unit 1.
