Capen Hall 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 all 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. Students may personalize their environment by painting the corridors with a house theme mural. Lounges can be found on each of the floors. Located in the basement of Capen Hall are two laundry rooms with washers and dryers, a bike rack, a study lounge, a recycling room, and the office for the Residence Hall Student Association (RHSA) and the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH). A main study lounge with two computers, the Department of Residence Life, vending machines, and a microwave oven may be found on the first floor. The second and third floors house TV lounges. Capen Hall offers its diverse student population a convenient campus location and facilities for physically challenged students. As a 10-month hall, Capen is open during all scheduled vacations (unless otherwise indicated by the Director of Residence Life) to permit those students needing housing an opportunity to remain on campus when other halls are closed. History: The hall is named for Frank S. Capen, the second principal of New Paltz Normal School (1888-1899). |
