Suite-Style Living
IUP is a university on the move. Exciting growth and changes are happening around campus, and part of the “buzz” is the progress on the largest university housing project of its kind in the country. Known as the Residential Revival, this project has brought comfortable and attractive suite-style housing to students living on campus.
We know that having the right living arrangements will be an important part of your overall college experience. Eight state-of-the-art, suite-style residential buildings provide more than 3,500 beds, with each building offering four to six different styles of living units. All buildings include the following:
- individual bathrooms in each suite
- high-speed wired and wireless Internet connections
- microwaves and refrigerators in each suite
- suite options with living spaces that range from three hundred to one thousand square feet
- individually controlled air conditioning and heating units
- laundry and trash disposal facilities on each floor
- indoor bicycle storage rooms
- carpeting
Besides offering some of the most comfortable housing accommodations on any college or university campus, the suites are designed as living-learning facilities, connecting students to resources that ultimately help promote academic success. Amenity spaces—conveniently located on the ground floor or first floor of the suites—house a variety of academic and student-support offices. In addition, specially designed study and resource rooms on each floor are used for academic and personal enrichment activities, such as tutoring, study sessions, academic advising, lectures, resource sharing, performances, exhibits, and displays. And, besides the community assistants who live on each floor, Academic Success Mentors (ASMs) are available to assist new students in their academic and personal adjustment, so that students feel supported and “in touch” with faculty and staff, as well as with other students.
Eight suite-style residential buildings are available: Delaney and Putt halls, Suites on Maple–East, Ruddock Hall, Northern Suites, Suites on Pratt, Wallwork Hall, and Stephenson Hall (Crimson Suites). The suite styles shown below are available. (Please note that each suite type is not available in every building):
