Designed by Studio Hillier Architects, the seven-story Iona University Residence Hall building, which opened in October of 2016, will house 300 undergraduate students and include 6,700 square feet of retail space on the ground floor and six levels of suit-style housing above.

This building provides students with apartment-style living, including living rooms and cooking and laundry facilities as well as common areas to meet the needs of upperclassmen. It features two- and four-bedroom air-conditioned suites equipped with LED lighting and high-speed internet. Each 750-square-foot suite offers one full and one half baths. The southern and eastern faces of the structure boast a glass wall tower housing multi-purpose lounges on each floor, and the tower’s top floor offers excellent views of the Iona campus, New Rochelle, and the Long Island Sound.

Iona University acquired this property adjacent to campus for a new residence hall to help reach its goal of housing 60 percent of undergraduates on campus.
