Complex is comprised of five residence halls located next to the Matoaka Woods Nature Center. The five halls are Fauquier, Dinwiddie, Gooch, Spotswood, and Nicholson. Each building has a similar layout, with one or two large lounges and a kitchen on the first floor. Typically, one lounge is social, while the other is dedicated for studying. The lounges in all of the Botetourt buildings are air-conditioned.
Residents determine the lounges' purpose, consitent with the policy of self-determination.
Each of the Botetourt Halls tend to be smaller with approximately one Resident Assistant for every twenty residents. Laundry rooms are located on the second floors of each building. Due to their small sizes, all of the Botetourt Complex's Halls tend to be more like family groups than other freshman halls. Botetourt is located near both the Dining Commons and the New Campus academic buildings. The Complex features double, triple, and quad rooms.
