Tokiwadai Dormitory

The Tokiwadai Dormitory is a building where students of Tokiwadai Middle School take residence. There are two Tokiwadai Dormitories in Academy City, the more prominently featured is the dorm where Misaka Mikoto resides in, while the other dorm is located within the School Garden along with the school itself. The dormitory has rules on not allowing males into rooms.
==Tokiwadai Exterior Dormitory==
===Appearance===
The dormitory in School Garden most likely has a similar architecture to that of the area.
====Exterior====
The dormitory outside of School Garden, is a three story building and has a fairly large interior. The building encloses a large area where grass is allowed to grow and is used as an area to held important events. With its red brick walls, arched windows, white parapets and corbels that round its top , white columns that supported it and complemented the white balustrades and metal railed terrace, and Noveau designed main doors, wherein glass covered the sides and top for the fan light for maximum lighting, thus, it showed off the marvelous designs of western architecture that is absent throughout most of Academy City.
====Interior====
Befitting its outside appearance, the dorm echoes its western design. However, it maintains simplicity. The main lobby features marble flagstones with square tessellations. Its walls painted white with marble bottom panels for the lobby, and for the rest of the hallways and corridors, brown wooden panelings covered the bottom with simple moldings. The walls were often covered with simple and tasteful paintings, and entrances to hallways used Roman archways, instead of the much more pointed archways of Gothic architecture that is used on the windows for the outside. Continuing with the simple design, the stairs are wooden with simple balusters.
The hallways shows a warmth of yellow, as the white walls reflect the incandescent lighting that hung atop the wooden ceilings. The numbered wooden doors for the rooms have transoms, where light can go through, and the walls show a plain grayish color. Room interiors have a simple wallpaper of beige, and the paneling of the bottom of the walls are much more numerous. Unlike to corridors, the floors inside the room are made of wood.
Regardless, the building still retains modern ingenuity, although quite subtle. Such as its carbon fiber doors, and sensory door knobs. Furthermore, mailboxes and a intercom is present in the main lobby, as well as in each individual rooms. Entrance functions are present to enforce curfew and security as well. Chapter 2 Pt 8
