About The Hall

East Campus, comprised of Constitution, Duber, and Federal halls, houses approximately 590 residents in suite-style housing. Each floor has a central lounge space with a kitchen, lounge furniture, and television for students to study or socialize with their community. Each floor also has a laundry room. East Campus includes a market and the Don Myers Technology & Innovation Building, a state-of-the-art facility for scientific research, collaboration, and learning.

Built with sustainability in mind, East Campus aims for LEED Certification with efforts taken to limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, produce less waste, and increase energy efficiency.
