Chace Hall
Chace Hall is a new residence hall that opened for occupancy in fall 2013. Chace is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students with modern amenities and conveniences including air conditioning. Unlike traditional residence halls though, Chace offers students private, single-user bathrooms that are shared by the floor. Similar to a home, each bathroom pod is privately used by one individual. Additional sinks are located near the bathrooms to provide quick, easy use. The building is coed by room (each room is single gender, but may be next to a room of opposite gender). Student bedrooms feature flexible furniture, which allows the student to arrange the rooms in a number of different ways. There is lounge space on every floor and a community kitchen on the ground floor. Chace Hall is located in close proximity to downtown, the White Building, and the HUB.

Room Decoration Guidelines
Students interested in hanging decorations in this hall should use this recommended material: thumbtacks (less than 20). Other material (wall-safe tape, poster putty, etc.) is NOT recommended due to the potential damage to the walls. NO stick-on, removable wall paper. NO furniture modifications; nothing screwed or nailed into furniture.
