Living Spaces on Lower Quad

During the 2021-22 academic year, cadets will be housed in two locations.

  • Pearson Hall East and Pearson Hall West on Upper Quad
  • Main Eggleston Hall on Lower Quad

Cadets assigned to Main Eggleston Hall should consider the following items:

  • One window fan per cadet. The window sill is 48 inches wide by 12 inches deep.
  • A desk hutch (rental option available from College Savers). Note: The desk will be under the bed. There is 30 inches between the top of the desk and the support for the mattress.
  • Containers for open closets
  • A tension rod and shower curtain to act as a closet door. (To meet fire code, shower curtains must be fire retardant. The fire marshal will look for a tag indicating fire retardant standards, or cadets need to have an empty can of fire retardant spray with a note indicating the curtains have been treated.)
