Holmes Residence Hall

Edna L. Holmes Residence Hall houses 169 beds for sophomore, junior, and senior students. Rooms in Holmes Hall are larger than the average size on campus, and a high percentage of them are single occupancy (75 single rooms). Even with the extra space, though, residents don’t want to spend too much time in their rooms. Holmes Hall features amenities designed to build community: a generous living room, game room, hall kitchen, outdoor wood-burning fireplace, and gas grill.

In addition to these features, Holmes Hall has attained LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification. The hall’s many eco-friendly features include the use of reclaimed wood (fir and maple) in its building materials, window switches in student rooms that reduce heat when windows are open, monitors displaying real-time energy use, and even a charging station for electric vehicles. Planting swales around the exterior of the building will remove impurities from rainwater before it enters the city’s storm water system.
