Founders Hall

Opened in 2002, Founders Hall is named in honor of the founding Basilian Fathers. Rooms throughout the hall have been dedicated to specific Fathers and plaques displaying their names and the dates they were ordained adorn the hallways.

Founders is the home to 192 upperclass students in both suite style and single rooms. The suites have two bedrooms with a common room and bathroom. The singles each share their bathroom with their neighboring room. This building also has individual heating and cooling units in each suite/single.

Room Set-Up

Due to a limited supply of extra bed frames, beds may not be lofted in single and double rooms; however, the height of each bed is adjustable. Although the beds are not lofted, they will be set to the highest adjustment permitted by the manufacturer (approximately 30 in. high). This is the most common furniture set-up that students request.

Facilities Services will be available in the residence halls on move-in day to assist students who wish to adjust their bed height or move furniture.
