RCAH

Rooms

The student rooms in Snyder-Phillips have been completely renovated, restoring some of the original ambiance of this classic residence hall while making essential updates. The ceilings have been restored to their original heights. Each room is furnished with attractive furniture, including desks, lofts, and dressers. In addition, the community bathrooms have been completely redesigned to add privacy features such as individual shower stalls, kiosk-style sinks, and lockers for each room.

Dining Hall

"The Gallery" dining hall is also new. To provide students with the widest possible range of dining options, it's arranged as an open food court with multiple venues. Each features a different style of cuisine. Ciao! serves up pizza and subs; Latitudes offers a variety of international and ethnic foods. Other venues specialize in salads, desserts, new versions of traditional foods, and grilled items such as grilled tuna or chicken as well as burgers. The style of service is also customer-centered: rather than serving themselves, customers enjoy food prepared to order. Check out a sample menu and learn more at the Eat at State website.

Coffee Shop

Located on the first floor next to the dining hall is a coffee shop featuring baked goods, salads, and prepared sandwiches in addition to a full range of coffee beverages.

Art Gallery

The second-floor LookOut! Gallery overlooks the dining hall and hosts exhibitions throughout the year of artworks created by faculty, students, and visiting artists.

Language and Media Center

The Language and Media Center is located across from the art studio on the terrace level. It includes spaces and equipment designed to assist students in learning a second language.
