Room Description
Willkie Center features “suite style” housing. All rooms are singles with two single rooms sharing one common bath. Each room has its own private entry to the bathroom. When occupied ,each person may secure the door so that the other party may not gain entry. All rooms are air-conditioned, have wall-to-wall carpeting, a bed, dresser and desk with overhead and desk lighting. The rooms are simple, functional and unusually attractive for what is typically available for ‘dorm’ housing.
Linens including 2 sheets, lightweight coverlet, pillow, pillow case and small towel are provided. We recommend that you bring your own large bath towel. It is your responsibility to provide your own toiletries.
You may select your suite mate or we will assign you a same gender person with whom you will share a bath (see the ‘housing’ section of the Symposium registration form for suite mate selection option)
ADA accommodations are available. Any special needs must be indicated on your housing registration form so that we may properly prepare for your arrival.
Cost
The cost for housing at Willkie Residence Center is: $44.00/night + 12% tax.
