A Comfortable, Connected Place to Call Home

Gessner Hall is home to 140 students and five Residence Life staff members who help create a welcoming, supportive community. Each room houses two students and shares a semiprivate bathroom with the adjoining room—giving you privacy while staying connected to your hallmates.

You’ll find plenty of ways to unwind, study, and have fun. Relax in one of the lounges, challenge friends in the game room, or take advantage of the computer lab with on‑site printing. Gessner shares a similar layout to Irwin Hall, with two bedrooms connected by a shared bath.
