Jeanne and John Rowe Village, designed by acclaimed international architect Helmut Jahn, consists of three five-story buildings that face the primary thoroughfare running through Mies Campus. One of its most distinctive features is that the Green Line elevated (“L”) train runs behind, which gives it a distinctly Chicago vibe. Rowe Village offers 367 beds in two suite-style buildings (two students per bedroom) and one apartment-style building (one student per bedroom).
Building Features
- Suite-style means that two students share a room, and they share a bathroom with two other students
- Lounges are located on the fifth floor of each building
- Two fifth-floor outdoor terraces offer panoramic views of downtown Chicago
- Staffed 24 hours a day by Community Desk Assistants; students must tap their HawkCard at the main entrance and community desk
- Extensive audio/visual displays in the main lounges, including a 50-inch high-definition, plasma display television with surround sound, DVD player, carousel CD player, and terrace speakers
- High-speed internet access and cable TV provided by Comcast
- Temperature controls in each suite/apartment and a complete furniture package including bed, desk, dresser, and desk chair
- A laundry room and small kitchen with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and microwave can be found on the second, third, and fourth floors
Note: Rowe Village suites and apartments are designated for our third year and above population.
Rowe Village suites and apartments are fully furnished. Each resident is provided a study desk with chair, a dresser, and an extra-long twin mattress with bed frame. In addition, each Rowe Village South apartment is furnished with a couch, and the kitchens are equipped with a microwave and refrigerator.
