Contemporary in design, this multi-story, 155-bed residential space is the newest building on campus to be constructed.

This spacious, neo-modern student center is fitted with ultra-modern acoustics, relaxed seating areas with wide-screen HD-TVs, a kitchen area with café tables, and a large, multi-purpose meeting space.
