In Summer 2008, students will be housed in Gage Hall, which is a residence hall within the Parker complex. The Parker complex is composed of the traditional corridor style hallways with a single sex bathroom shared by residents of the floor or house, which is maintained by the Custodial Staff. Students who live in the corridor style buildings enjoy a lot of activity and interaction with the members of their house. Lounges can be found on each of the floors. Located in the basement of Gage Hall are two laundry rooms with washers and dryers, a T.V. lounge, and a garbage/recycling room. On the first floor there is one main study lounge, as well as vending machines, a microwave oven and two small study lounges. The basement and second floors house T.V. lounges. Cooking facilities are located on the basement, second and third floors. There is also a computer lab with ten computers on the third floor. The largest residence hall on campus, the diverse residents of Gage Hall are known for their active participation in Hall Government and all areas of campus life. Gage Hall is in close proximity of the Health Center, Elting Gymnasium, outdoor volleyball courts, and tennis courts.
