BUILDINGS

The George Washington University offers two different types of residence halls to Short-Stay Conference Groups. All buildings on campus are air-conditioned and many include private or shared bathrooms.

Conference Hall rooms provide the feel of more traditional dorm style living, though many rooms include a private bathroom or share a bathroom with another room. The halls in this category are: Potomac House, Crawford, and Lafayette on the Foggy Bottom Campus, as well as Somers, Clark, Cole, Merriweather, and Hensley on the Mount Vernon Campus. Space will be assigned based on Campus Preference.  Pelham Hall on the Mount Vernon Campus will be closed for the Summer 2009 season.

Apartment-Style rooms are set up studio style as one large living space and have a private bathroom and a kitchen. The hall in this category is Schenley on the Foggy Bottom Campus.  Space will be assigned as available.
