Norelius Hall front

Also known as Co-Ed

Our largest residence hall, for 372 students, is built to create community for first-years. Ten double-occupancy rooms are arranged in 鈥減ods鈥 that share a common lounge space with a Collegiate Fellow (resident assistant). Each dorm room has a desk, desk chair, bed (mattress and frame), and closet/wardrobe space for each resident. On the large main floor, there鈥檚 a fireplace with a conversation area (鈥淭he Pit鈥) and two large study-hangout areas. It鈥檚 named for our college鈥檚 founder and first president, Rev. Eric Norelius. 

What鈥檚 Cool About It

Sure, in the winter you must walk across the parking lot students call 鈥渢he Tundra鈥 to get to and from class. Still, it鈥檚 the closet dorm building to workout and athletic facilities, and practice fields for multiple sports. It鈥檚 been known as 鈥淐o-Ed鈥 since 1967 because it was the first residence hall on campus to house both men and women. Of course back then, men and women still had separate laundry rooms, vending machines, trash areas, and even curfews. At night, a metal gate came down between the building鈥檚 two towers to prevent men and women from mixing too late. It only lasted a few years like that, and today, genders are arranged by pod, and there is an open-gender housing option too.
