Prentiss Hall & Lucas Hall

Prentiss Hall and Lucas Hall are located on the northwestern edge of Main Campus next to Kryzsko Commons and Gildemeister Hall.

Prentiss-Lucas features traditional units that include a private sink as well as a built-in wardrobe and desk. These residence halls mirror each other—meaning the 2 buildings have the same design, only flipped—and share a common lobby area.

These residence halls are also a good pick for students who want to feel connected to on-campus activities and still feel like they’re “going home” at the end of the day.

Prentiss and Lucas halls primarily house first-year students. Lucas is for female students while Prentiss is co-ed, but individual units are single-gendered per our housing policies.

24/7 Security & Controlled Door Access

To maintain your safety on campus, only students who live in Prentiss-Lucas can use their Warrior IDs to enter either of the 2 buildings.

That means students living in other residence halls or off-campus guests must have a Prentiss-Lucas resident accompany and escort them to and from the buildings when visiting.
