Rich Hall
Named after Isaac Rich, one of the founders of Boston University, Rich Hall is the building farthest west of the three towers. The 2nd floor has a different layout than the rest of the building due to it previously being an infirmary. It contains the most beds of any of the three towers in West Campus. The entire interior of the building was renovated in summer 2012, making it the final dorm in West Campus to receive modernization.
Unlike, Claflin and Sleeper Hall, Rich Hall does not have a dining hall occupying its first floor. Instead, the first floor consists of recently renovated lounge and study areas, including a cinema and game room.

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or hall:
“The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the the land,
In England there shall be dear breadin Ireland, sword and brand;
And poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand,
So, rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand,
Of the fine old English Tory days;
Hail to the coming time!”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
“The statements of science are hearsay, reports from a world outside the world we know. What the poet tells us has long been known to us all, and forgotten. His knowledge is of our world, the world we are both doomed and privileged to live in, and it is a knowledge of ourselves, of the human condition, the human predicament.”
—John Hall Wheelock (18861978)
