Russ Hall

Russ Hall was built in 1915 and served as the first residential facility of the State Normal School at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß, now known as Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß. Converted at one point to an administrative building and then later renovated back to a residence hall, Russ Hall houses approximately 100 students with two layouts; suite-style consisting of two rooms connected by a bathroom and double or triple rooms with a private bathroom. A Resident Assistant lives on every floor and Service Assistants keep the front desk operational 24 hours a day.
