Formerly home to the Public Affairs Residential College, 1838 Chicago will open as a freshman-only residence during the 2016-17 school year. The building is a stone's throw from the Arch, and the Intercampus shuttle sits right outside the dorm's front door. In addition to new community spaces on the first floor, the renovated facility will include a recreation and performance room to provide students with a workout spot that's closer than Henry Crown Sports Pavillion or Blom. 1838 Chicago will also have suite options.
