Fairfield, once a females-only building and the original residence hall at Western (1927), reopened after a comprehensive renovation in 2008 as a coed residence hall.  The entry area reflects the beautiful design of its past, with wood paneled coving and trim, while the floors are updated with furnishings and lighting to reflect the more modern era.  Fairfield has a basement laundry room, and a small kitchenette on the first floor near the main lounge, along with ample lounge space throughout the building. Fairfield also now features a working gas fireplace and an outdoor patio with a firepit.

Requirements:

Fairfield Hall is open to first year students (and returning students as needed).

Fairfield Hall requires that all students be on the Ultimate or Platinum meal plans.  Students who do not select their own plan will be defaulted to the Ultimate Plan.  Students assigned to Fairfield may opt to purchase the Diamond meal plan if they wish, but may not opt for the Blue meal plan. More information on meal plans can be found on the Housing Costs page or the Sodexo Campus Dining page.
