Our three new, suite-style, residence halls house 195 undergraduate students in units of four rooms, accommodating two students each, and two f
bathrooms on each corridor. These buildings have central lobbies with locked corridors leading to the bedrooms. Each bedroom is secured by a dead- |
bolt lock. Guests can gain entrance to the vestibule where they can call the resident they are visiting. The residents then can come to the vestibule to 1
