Fischer Hall

Fischer was built in 1965 and houses 593 freshman and sophomore students. Fully renovated in 2006, this hall contains five floors, with three gender-specific wings on each floor. Each wing is made up of double occupancy rooms and some triple occupancy rooms; most rooms are configured as suites (two rooms adjoined by a common bathroom). As Fischer residents enjoy semi-private suite-style bathrooms, they are responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of this space. Plenty of open space throughout the building allows for larger group activities.

Each room is equipped with:

a 36" x 80" extra long mattress for each student
one bulletin board
six electrical outlets
one internet port per student and wireless internet (IT Services website)
an RT London modular furniture system (mfs) that offers different lofting configurations with the dressers and desks (more info >>)
air conditioning/forced air heat in each room
one closet per student with folding doors one desk chair per student
a wastebasket
toilet paper
miniblinds
