5.18 Housing Facilities

The Pavilions on the University's historic Lawn are residences of senior faculty members whose eligibility has been established by the Board of Visitors. The following is the sequence of priority when a vacancy occurs: the vice president and provost, the vice president and chief student affairs officer, the academic deans of the schools in the order in which they were established, and then the faculty, subject to the conditions of the policy of the Board of Visitors. The uses of other buildings in the historic district, such as Montebello, Lower Mews, the Pavilion VII apartments, and Hotel D, are assigned by the Board of Visitors.

Pavilion VIII has both classroom and residential space. The Office of the University Registrar allocates the use of the classrooms. The Pavilion VIII Committee invites the faculty to apply for the residential space, reviews the applications, and makes a recommendation to the provost on the use of the residences; the provost, in turn, makes a recommendation to the Board of Visitors for their action on assignment. The assignment of faculty to Morea and to one of two apartments on the Mews also is managed by the Provost's Office. The three apartments in the Monroe Hill Residential College are assigned by the Monroe Hill Residential Committee. Hereford College has one principal's residence and three other apartments, which are assigned in a similar manner.

Faculty members can apply for University-owned rental housing through the University Housing Office. Tenure-track assistant professors, lecturers, and instructors receive first priority for assignments. Housing in the Piedmont Faculty Housing area is available to non-tenured faculty, research associates, and visiting faculty members. Housing for all other areas (other than residences located in the historic district and others specified above) is available for assignment to faculty and staff.

The Off-Grounds Housing Office provides comprehensive lists of rooms, apartments, and houses to rent, as well as a directory of all local apartment complexes. The lists are updated monthly; the directory is published annually. Faculty members who have properties to rent can list them through this office. A model lease to be used as a rental contract is available.
