The William A. and Christene Merick Residence Hall, positioned on the corner of Broadway and Henderson, is among the first buildings any visitor to the Southeast campus can see. Located next to Houck Field, Merick Hall’s east-facing windows overlook the stadium, so residents can be a part of the action on game day. The first-floor program lounge is a popular hangout and provides a ground-level view of the field. Merick Hall is a suite-style community with two-person rooms connected by a shared entrance and bathroom. The residence hall has multiple small living rooms throughout the building, a large program lounge with games, a laundry room, a hearth room overlooking the field, and study lounges on each floor. Merick Hall is conveniently located near the University Center, Kent Library, Capaha Park, and local restaurants.
