Loyola Hall
Originally built as a residence for the Jesuits, Loyola Hall was constructed in 1963 and dedicated in the honor of St. Ignatius Loyola on September 11, 1965. Now, this residence hall is home to more than 300 sophomores, juniors, and seniors and the student Health Center. Located between the Chapel and Miller Art Studio, Loyola is supervised by nine Resident Assistants (RAs), one Head Resident Assistant (HRA), and one Community Development Coordinator (CDC).
In Loyola, there is a study room on each floor, a community kitchenette, wireless internet access, vending machines, a coin-operated laundry facility, and a social room which can be used for impromptu meetings, social gatherings, and programs. The social room has a TV, pool table, and ping-pong table. Throughout the year, student organizations utilize the Loyola Ballroom for large scale events. Although Loyola is known for its quiet community, residents can expect a variety of programs hosted by the RAs and House Council such as ice cream socials, and dinner with the class deans.
Loyola is appealing to upperclassmen because each room has a private bathroom, and offers a variety of living arrangements to accommodate doubles, triples, and four- and five-person suites. In each room you will find one desk, desk chair, desk lamp, dresser, and bed per occupant. Rooms that are temporarily tripled will have one set of bunk beds and a lofted bed with a third desk, desk chair, and dresser conveniently placed under the bed to maximize space in the room. Most two-person rooms are approximately 10' x 20' and are fully carpeted. Every room has a window and fire-retardant drapes. Since the twin beds are extra long, "college size" sheets are recommended.
