Hereford Complex

[Area Photo]

The Hereford Complex houses upperclass students in double and single occupancy rooms. Hereford is unique among upperclass areas in that it provides an opportunity for students to live in hallway-style buildings, with increased opportunities for interaction between residents while at the same time providing the privacy of single rooms. Hereford Complex is conveniently located near Runk Dining Hall.

The Hereford Complex was constructed in 1992, and are located on Observatory Mountain (O-Hill) between Stadium and Observatory Roads. The buildings are co-ed, single sex by floor, with rooms opening into a common hallway. Two lounges are located on each floor where students may come together for socializing. One lounge is equipped with a sink and microwave.
