Students may choose between single-sex or coed floors.
Most floors have a small kitchen adjacent to the floor lounge.
Platt-Howard is also the site of The Platteau, the student art center, which opened in the fall of 1999. It has quickly become one of the most popular places on campus. Both Visual and Performing Arts and Outdoor Pursuits are two theme options which are housed in Platt-Howard. They offer incredible opportunties to live in an atmosphere surrounded by others who share interests. Platt-Howard also is home to the Student Arts Center, a place open to all students to dance, paint, enjoy photography and ceramics.
