New Campus Housing

The Western Ridge Complex

Colorado College students had more options than ever in the room lottery for this fall.  

There are 70 seniors, 113 juniors and 46 sophomores signed up to live in Western Ridge apartments next fall. Twenty-six students will live in units for special needs. 

Last year, students competed for 61 spaces in the 20-unit Edith Gaylord House, the first of the eight-structure, $23-million Western Ridge Housing Complex.  Antero (#1 and #2), Blanca, Crestone, El Diente, Elbert, and Windom open this fall.

The complex, which adds 288 beds, boasts an outdoor cafe, piazzas, and stellar views of Pikes Peak.  Several different floor plans will be available, including lofts, studios, flats, and apartments, all wired for computers.  Click here to see examples.  Look at individual floor plans and typical inside shots on the summer conferences Web site.  

Read a recent story in the Catalyst student newspaper for descriptions and additional information about the apartments.
