Barnum suites offer approximately 375 square feet of combined living and sleeping space.

In the sleeping area, each resident has an extra long twin bed (Mattresses are 80” long). Beds are bunkable. Four wardrobe units provide wardrobe space as well as 3 drawers per resident, and ev-eryone also has a nightstand. These “bedrooms” are a separate room from the living/studying area and have an adjoining bathroom.

The living/study area provides each resident with desk, chair and bookshelf space to attend to aca-demics. The adjoining living space is furnished with a couch, guest chair and floor lamp.

Ackerman Hall is a LEED PLATINUM (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified green building. As such the over-all “theme” of the building is green and residents living here commit to a greener, more sustainable lifestyle. Ackerman also serves as the home to our Live-Learn Communities. Living here allows residents to choose to live with peers who share a similar interest, passion or goal with respect to their academic and/or residential experience. In addition, these Live-Learn communities also provide:

l A community environment with clear educa- tional objectives and mission established.

l Staff, curricular and co-curricular programming and resources that are dedicated to that program only.

l Faculty and/or staff mentors are available as resources within each community.

Each resident (same gender roommates) will live in a com-munity with potentially different gender neighbors. Each wing features 22 rooms with separate designated men’s and women’s community bathrooms on each floor, as well as one private, gender-neutral bathroom at each end of the community. Study lounges - many with laptop bars - complete these communities.

Ackerman double rooms are approximately 162 square feet, and designated single rooms are approximately 115 square feet (room dimensions may vary). A typical double room has wardrobes with drawers for storage, dressers, and a desk (which includes drawers, a cork-board and a shelf) and chair for each resident (see image below right). Beds are extra-long twin (mattresses are 80” long) and are stackable. Furniture can be moved within the room to suit each resident.

How do I apply?

You must apply to the University for admission to WOU before you apply for housing.
