Fairmount Towers

Fairmount Towers is the largest of the university’s residence halls, with the capacity to house up to 600 students. Composed of two high-rise living units and a central dining facility, it was constructed as a private dormitory around the time the institution became a state university in 1964.

Wheatshocker Apartments

Wheatshocker Apartments

In the fall of 1994, WSU President Eugene Hughes proposed buying the apartments to “make a new building out of an old building.” With an invest-ment of about $11.6 million in revenue bonds, the university gutted the six-story, U-shaped building and replaced virtually everything. The first phase of renovation was completed by the fall 1996 se-mester. It is now a prime housing option for sopho-mores, married students and single-parent students with no more than two children.

FAIRMOUNT BRENNAN HALL WHEATSHOCKER APARTMENTS The Process Applying to live on campus is a four-part process that involves submitting your housing ap-plication, receiving and returning/accepting your contract, selecting your housing preferenc-es, and receiving your assignment.

Recommended/suggested items do not affect comple -tion.
