Annexes

Annexes are housing options offered to senior students who are interested in a more independent and interdependent lifestyle than is offered in our traditional residence halls. Annexes are open during the same periods as all College residence halls and are closed during College vacation periods. Residents are responsible for self-government and cleaning of all common areas of the annex. Campus and U.S. Mail is delivered to mailboxes in the Kellogg Center.

Annexes are furnished small houses located on campus that accommodate 7-10 students. Basic kitchen and laundry appliances are provided.  *501 Michigan Ave. Annex is designated as substance free (no alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances) facilities.

Students apply in groups for annexes during the Room Selection/Lottery process, which is held during the spring semester for the following academic year. Each group must designate a spokesperson to represent the group during the application process and throughout the academic year. The spokesperson will work closely with the Assistant Director of Residential Life serving as a liaison and house manager for administrative tasks.

Each group will have the opportunity to indicate their preferences for assignment to a specific annex. Group size and cumulative lottery numbers of approved groups may be a factor in actual assignment. The final determination of location will be made by the Office of Residential Life. Approval and assignment is granted year-to-year. An applicant must be in good social standing to be considered.

Community Area
Most annexes are similar to a normal residential house, which includes a living room, dining room, and a front porch area. The community area differs slightly for each annex, yet areas allow both small and medium gathering space so students can study or socialize. Laundry machines and dryers are provided in each annex.

Living Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen Furnishings
Annexes are provided with basic living room furniture, such as sofas, chairs, end tables, coffee tables, dining room tables and chairs. Kitchens are furnished with a refrigerator and stove. Some annexes have dishwashers.

Bedroom Furnishings
Each double room is equipped with two beds, two desks & chairs, closets, one chest of drawers, a telephone with private access to the College voice mail system, cable TV hookup, Internet connection and mini blinds. All College furniture must remain in the student's room for the duration of the academic year.

Bed Lofts
Students are not permitted to build their own loft.
