Urness - "First On the Roster, First in Your Heart"
Important Announcements
This is a copy of the Urness Newsletter you should be getting in the mail around August 1. Your placement and roommate information will be on the back of this letter.
First Year Council - During your first floor meeting your RA will talk with you about First Year Council. This is a great opportunity to get involved with programming for first year students, serve as a voice for concerns and issues in the halls, and assess the needs of your fellow students to make recommendations to the Department of Residence Life.
We did measurements of the Urness Hall rooms. Look here for all the measurements we did. If there is something not listed, please contact Amanda Temple to suggest other items/spaces to measure.

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").
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.
