About Urness Hall:
Many first year students reside in Urness Hall and share a lobby with Mortensen Hall. Each of the nine floors has 18 rooms (each approximately 14'x12'), a common lounge, and a community bathroom. There are weekly activities in Urness to provide opportunities for students to meet and interact with each other. Our resident advisors are specially trained to provide leadership, guidance, and educational programs.
Some of the features of Urness include a 24-hour computer lab, laundry facilities, and telephone, cable and Ethernet connections in each room. Each student has a bed (36"x80"), built-in desk with adjustable shelves, chair, closet, and dresser. All rooms are carpeted and have one window (4'30"x 6'2"). We did measurements of the Urness Hall rooms. Look here for all the measurements we did. If there is something not listed, please contact Michael Perry to suggest other items/spaces to measure.
Urness Hall also provides accommodations for students with disabilities. To provide a safe environment for our students, the Department of Public Safety dispatch is conveniently located in the lobby area. In addition, there is a 24-hour escort service and a computerized entrance system.
