Residential Buildings

• Townhouses - Each Townhouse is a four person apartment with two double rooms and a bathroom upstairs. A kitchen and living room on the first floor. The Townhouses are generally used for theme and senior housing.

• Riverside - Each Riverside apartment contains a first floor with kitchen and living room. The upstairs varies and will house three to four people. A single and a double bedroom or two doubles. The Riverside apartments are generally used by theme housing and seniors.

• Woodstock - Woodstock apartments are for two to four people with three different configurations. The four person style has a living room, kitchen and two double bedrooms. There are two different two person styles, regular and efficiency. The regular two person apartments have a living room, kitchen and one double bedroom while the efficiency has just a kitchen and living room which doubles as a bedroom as well. Woodstock housing is used by seniors and a few juniors.

• New Dorms - The New Dorms (built in the 1960s) consist of the Price and Graham complexes, each split into four Houses. The Graham Hall complex consists of Donahue, Olson, Van Note, and Wilson Houses, while the Price Hall complex consists of Farrisee, Newell, Ormsby, and Thomas Houses. Newell House is reserved for the Clarkson School, the others are used by honors students, Clarkson School mentors, and others. There are a few styles of rooms. Most are four person suites containing 2 double bedrooms linked by a common bathroom. The other four person suites are composed of a single double bedroom and two single bedrooms which share a single bathroom. There are a handful of single double bedrooms, which have their own bathroom. These few double bedrooms are much larger than any other suite. In the center core of the Graham complex is the Graham Cafeteria (currently not in operation), and in the center core of the Price complex are the Student Support Services offices, First-Year Advising offices, and Clarkson School/Honors offices.

• Moore House - Generally inhabited by juniors and sophomores, it is the closest residential building to Snell Hall and the Science Center. It contains four person suites consisting of two double bedrooms joined by a common bathroom. The first floor of Moore is home to the Clarkson University CEO Program. Construction is currently being done to enlarge Moore House and provide more residential area, which will be complete in May 2012.

• The Quad - Used for freshman housing. The Quad is composed of four buildings- Ross, Brooks, Cubley, and Reynolds Houses - linked by the Ross-Brooks eatery, between Ross house and Brooks house, and Empire Diner, between Reynolds house and Cubley house. The laundry is located between the fours houses. Although all the building are connected, it is impossible to move between all four houses without going outside. Due to the fact that Empire Diner was put between Reynolds and Cubley and you have to enter Empire from the middle building. It is however possible to move between Ross and Brooks without going outside. The Quad buildings are four stories high. With the fourth floor rooms being bigger than the rest of the floors, but usually containing triples instead of doubles.

• Hamlin-Powers ("The Pit") - The original hill campus student housing, consisting of Hamlin and Powers Houses, once highly sought for being the closest to the downtown campus and being right across the street from the old hockey arena, is now the lowest priority housing and home to many sophomores and few freshman. The buildings were renovated in 2003 and have the same layout as the buildings in the Quad. The Student Health Center which was located in between the two wings of the building has recently been moved to the ERC.
