Women's Residence Halls

Gillette Hall

Gillette Hall is Houghton's largest residential facility, housing over 330 women. The center section was constructed in 1953 with the first wing being added in 1959 and the second in 1964, completing its familiar H shape. In recent years, Gillette has been carpeted throughout, wired for the Internet in the rooms and cable television in the lounges. It has an international floor for interested students.  Gillette offers more rooming options than our other buildings with singles, doubles, triples, and quads. Most of the rooms have a sink or sink room.  

Lambein Hall

Lambein was built in 1973 and houses 150 women. It features larger lounges on the first and fourth floors. The other floors each feature a lounge, study room, ironing room, prayer chapel and kitchenette. An elevator nicknamed "Otis" connects the six floors. As are all of our residence halls, Lambein is carpeted throughout, contains free laundry facilities, and is wired for the Internet in the rooms and cable TV in the lounges. Lambein's most popular feature is its view of the Houghton Creek out the windows of its west side.
