Honors House at Eames Hall

The only exclusive honors residence among Massachusetts public college and university campuses

The Honors House at Eames Hall represents a departure from traditional college dormitories.

Modeled on the Harvard University House System, the Honors House is designed to integrate academic and enrichment activities seamlessly into residential life.

The Honors House at Eames Hall is the only residential hall dedicated entirely to students enrolled in the Honors Program across all Massachusetts public college and university campuses.

A Faculty House Master will reside in the house to act as resident mentor for students and to host a series of events such as teas and conversation dinners.

Honors Affiliated Faculty will be a regular presence in the house, offering activities designed to enhance faculty-student connections and promote interdisciplinary thinking, problem solving and communication.

In addition, a traditional Resident Director and Resident Assistants will be available to ensure the smooth day-to-day operations of the house.

Eames Hall

Eames is a lovely residence hall built in the 1930's and will undergo a thorough facelift for Fall 2008.

Eames is located on the UML North, adjacent to Lydon Library with easy transportation to UML South and UML East and the shuttle bus stopping right outside.

Eames houses both male and female students. All rooms in Eames have sinks. Tunnels lead to other UML North buildings with secure access to the residence.

Large common areas in the lower level will include:

• Library with fireplace and daily delivery of major newspapers for conversations, relaxation and teas with the House Master
• Large HDTV-media area with comfortable seating for lounging and film series
• Computer and Internet access
• Small group meeting areas
• Recreation areas

House Activities

The Honors House provides the perfect venue for a host of enriching activities.

Twisted Tuesdays: A new twist on an old prof! Faculty members will offer informal presentations of a skill or interest outside their professional area to foster student connections with faculty in ways not facilitated by typical classroom experiences.

Faculty Film Series: Students will join faculty to watch favorite films & discuss over pizza or ice cream.

House Master Teas: The resident faculty member will offer periodic teas for students and faculty to join in informal conversation and to pursue topics of interest to students.

Field Trips: The House will be the organizational center for culturally enriching excursions to plays, tours, concerts and points of interest.

Activities will be open to students enrolled in the UMass Lowell Honors Program.
