Crispell Hall is a residence hall within the Hasbrouck complex. The Hasbrouck complex is made up of suites, each having two to four student rooms, a common bath and a small lounge area. Students who live in the suites enjoy the privacy of their own "living room" and often personalize it (along with their individual rooms) with posters, plants, rugs and furniture. The residents are responsible for maintaining and cleaning their own bathroom.
In the basement of Crispell Hall are a laundry room with washers and dryers, a T.V. lounge, a bike rack, a recycling room, a piano, pool table, video games and cooking facilities. Located on the first floor are vending machines, two microwave ovens, public restrooms and a study lounge. Crispell Hall is a 24 hour Contract Study Building. The Contract Study building option is offered to create an atmosphere that is highly conducive to sleep and study. Upon checking into the hall each resident voluntarily signs a separate study contract by which s/he agrees to abide by policies and regulations enforcing 24 hour quiet conditions.
Crispell Hall also houses the Wellness House. Please see the Housing Handbook for more information on the benefits surrounding the Wellness House. Crispell Hall is in close proximity to a campus computer lab, the Hasbrouck Dining Hall, and the Student Union Building. Crispell Hall seeks to provide its diverse students with academic, cultural, educational and social programs to enhance living and learning experiences outside of the classroom. As a ten month hall, Crispell 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. You must already live in 10 month housing to stay over breaks.
