New Hall

USM's Newest Addition

Located On The Gorham Campus

Built adjacent to the Paula Hodgdon Athletic field, the newest residence hall on the Gorham campus is centered in the heart of the Gorham campus. When finished, the building will be the focal point of the Gorham campus, providing breathtaking and spectacular views of the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the lakes region of southern Maine.

This New hall also has the distinction of being the first LEED certifiable residence hall on the Gorham campus. USM has been working with our architects and construction teams toward completing the requirements for LEED certification for a green building. The university has taken extra care in monitoring the materials used during the construction and the planning phases of the new residence hall.

Along with obtaining the LEED certification, this new hall will be home to USM's newest Living Learning Community. This community will have a live-in faculty member and will be centered around environmental issues and environmental science.

The new hall will house 296 students on 3 floors in close proximity to Bailey Hall, the John Mitchell Center and USM's athletics facilities. The rooms in this new hall are set up in apartment and suite style living.  Apartments and suites have their own private bathrooms, are fully furnished and feature, amongst other luxuries, air conditioning, full refrigerators or Microfridges, cable access and internet access in every room. New to USM's residential halls will be wireless internet access in the common areas. Students will also be able to relax in the study lounge or play some ping pong in the recreation room.

One of the key features of this building is the main entrance. The front desk of the building will be staffed with security personnel 24 hours a day. Students will be able to have their mail sent to the new hall and have access to their mailboxes right inside of the building
