Maple is now co-ed by floor, and has a learning community on each floor.
Maple Hall also has some academic initiatives and policies that make it unique from most of the residence halls at Iowa State. Students are encouraged to work on class projects, form study groups, and socialize informally in these spaces. There are visitation hours in place for student rooms. These hours are in place to facilitate healthy decision making for students transitioning from high school to college. All areas of Maple are substance free, including public spaces and student rooms.
