Wheeler Hall

Perhaps the most popular residence hall among underclassmen, Wheeler Hall has a rich history of traditions and hall pride. Named after Rev. John D. Wheeler, S.J., Wheeler Hall opened on January 2, 1940. The only underclassmen hall not located on Easy Street, this corridor-style hall houses more than 250 freshmen, sophomores, and a handful of juniors and seniors. Wheeler is supervised by nine Resident Assistants (RAs), one Head Resident Assistant (HRA), and one Community Development Coordinator (CDC).

Wheeler has its own laundry facilities, a kitchenette with a microwave, stove and complete cooking facilities, and a social room with a pool table and TV, in the basement. Each year the Wheeler House Council sponsors various activities that aid in maintaining the hall’s tight-knit community. The brick patio area and grass hill behind Wheeler is commonly known as “Wheeler Beach,” where students often play stickball.

In each room, you will find one desk, desk chair, desk lamp, dresser, and bed per occupant. Rooms are approximately 10' x 20' and have tiled floors. Every room has a window and fire-retardant drapes. The twin beds are extra long. "College size" sheets are recommended. As there is no overhead lighting in the room, students should bring an extra non-halogen lamp.
