About Gries Hall
The new, three-story, residential apartment facility is complete! Located across from the Schuldes Sports Center, on Third Street, Gries Hall is now open as an upperclassmen summer and academic year housing option.

The 59,000-square-foot facility, featuring a brick and stone exterior, is designed to provide senior students with a transitional living experience that bridges the gap between traditional campus living and what they might expect in their first residence after graduation. Among its amenities are:

• a first-floor common area and lounge.
• a second-floor fitness center.
• a second-floor laundry room and study area.
• a third-floor reflection area.

The building is wheelchair accessible and is home to a Resident Education and Housing Apartment Manager, living in an apartment on the third floor.

Students choosing the new apartment building as their living option will sign 11.5-month leases that run from June through graduation in May. Senior student groups will receive preference but senior-junior mixes and junior groups may apply for apartments if space allows.

Living in the new residential apartments
Who can apply for residency in the new apartments?
The new apartments are an upper-class living option. Priority will be given to groups of seniors and juniors who are interested in 11.5 month leases.

How do I apply to live in the new apartments?
Seniors and juniors indicating a desire to live in the new apartments will be able to apply for residency in February. Assignments will be based on class standing and housing lottery numbers. The top 36 groups will be granted residency in the new apartments.

Gries cell phone information
Students interested in applying for Gries Hall for the 2011-2012 academic year should note that there are some cell phone providers that have better reception in the building than others.

Residential Education and Housing surveyed Gries Hall residents in Fall 2009 concerning their cell phone usage while in the building. From that survey, 65% of the residents responded. As a result, it was determined that phones provided by Cellcom and U.S. Cellular are less likely to have reception problems throughout the building. Phones using AT&T, Sprint and Verizon/Alltel services are more likely to have difficulty with reception in the building.

We hope your living experience in Gries Hall meets your expectations. Therefore, we wanted to provide potential residents with proper and accurate feedback as Gries' pilot year comes to a conclusion.
