Towers is comprised of seven actual buildings which were built in 1961. Included in the other six buildings are a total of sixteen houses. The RA would usually live on the first floor and the residents would live on the 2-4 floors. 2-4 of these houses were part of a building. An example is that Kingston and Allen were the two houses which made up the building in the northeast corner of Towers Quadrangle.
Towers is made up of double-sized rooms.
Initially, there were no singles designed into the area. When the lower enrollment demographics of the early to mid 1990's developed, the triples were converted into doubles and many of the double rooms were made into singles. We are now going back to only double rooms, no triples. This was an advantage to living in small units. Food would be served in large bowls and pitchers.
