Mudge House (A-Tower) is an original mansion constructed in 1920 by Edmund and Paul ine Seeley Mudge as a home for their fami ly. The Mudge family led one of the largest industrial concerns in Pittsburgh, Edmund W. Mudge and Company, a brokerage in coke, coal, iron and steel, founded in 1896. The building was willed to Carnegie Tech in 1957 and has become one of the more popular residence halls on campus.

Important

Information About

Temporary Housing

Because housing is in high demand

at Carnegie Mellon, occupancy

pressures may dictate that a

limited number of first-year

students spend anywhere from

a few days to a few weeks in

temporary housing. In the past,

an average of 40 to 60 students

have been assigned to temporary

housing to begin the year. We

utilize spaces staffed with our

resident assistants and offer

the same programs and support

offered to other first-year stu-

dents. Once it is time to relocate

to a permanent assignment,

Housing and Dining Services will

coordinate and assist in the move.

H o u s i n g S e r v i c e s

*Students pay separately for room and public area damages.

**Students receive free campus and local calling. Students

pay for all other calls by signing up for a long distance calling

plan through the university carrier. Please visit www.cmu.

edu/computing/telecom/student/longdistance/index.html.

Students must provide their own phone (Any UL-approved

phone will work well as the phone lines are analog.)

In order for Housing and Dining Services to make the best possible room assignment for you, it is important that you read the application brochure thoroughly and respond to all of the following questions. Housing and Dining Services will make every attempt to accommodate your housing preferences; however, the limited capacity of some areas and the number of students to be housed may dictate that you be assigned to an area you did not indicate as one of your preferences.

Special housing requests are subject to recommendation by Student Health Services based on medical documentation and availability of accommodation. The Special Housing Needs Form is to be accessed at www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/HealthServices/forms/forms.cfm and sent to Health Services, Carnegie Mellon University, 1060 Morewood Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Student Health Services will not issue a recommendation without this completed documentation. Requests received after room assignments are issued may not be honored due to decreased availability.

The following university offices are available to assist you at any time. Please contact the appropriate office to discuss your specific need:
