Armstrong-Douglas Halls
The Siamese twins of Coe residence life, these
two separate halls share a main lobby and entrance. Named for
Samuel C.
Armstrong, Coe Trustee from 1907-28, and George B. Douglas, Coe
Trustee from
1892-1923, these halls combined house 340 men and women on alternating
floors.
The rooms in these halls are primarily double occupancy, and
all are
air-conditioned to keep you cool during those warm Iowa summers.
In the main
lobby, there are a number of amenities for your recreational
pleasure. There is
a big screen television, two kitchens, a pool table, ping-pong
table, foosball,
piano, and comfortable lobby furniture. For your convenience,
the office of
Health Services is also located in Douglas Hall off the main
lobby.

Greene Hall
This is Coe’s only all-male residence hall. Named after
Judge George Greene, Coe’s first Board President, Greene
Hall houses 190 men on eight floors, four of which are dedicated
to Coe’s national fraternities (Phi Kappa Tau, Tau Kappa
Epsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Sigma Nu). Rooms in this hall,
which looks out across the quad at Voorhees, include singles
and doubles. In addition to a large main lobby used for workshops,
meetings, and studying, Greene Hall also offers small television
lounges on each floor.

Murray Hall
The tallest residence hall at Coe, Murray Hall is
home to 170 male and female students on alternating floors. Named
after Dr.
Fred G. Murray 1895, a Coe Trustee and his wife, Janette Stevenson
Murray 1896, Murray Hall offers air-conditioned, single and double
rooms that vary in shape and size. Rooms on each floor circle
a central core, radiating out like spokes on a wheel. In addition
to two formal lounges on either side of the main entrance, Murray
offers laundry facilities, a kitchen, study tables, and two informal
lounges—including televisions and a pool table—in
the basement. Don’t worry about treading up all those stairs—Murray’s
eight floors are serviced by two elevators.

Voorhees Hall
The oldest of Coe’s residence halls, this
all-female facility houses 184 women on seven different floors,
three of
which are
home to Coe’s national sororities (Delta Delta Delta, Alpha
Sigma Alpha, and Alpha Omicron Pi). Named after Mrs. Elizabeth
R. Voorhees, this
recently renovated hall allows for handicap accessibility on
five of its seven floors. Room configurations include singles,
doubles, and two-room quads, all of which are air-conditioned.
The Voorhees grand lobby is a main gathering place for studying,
meetings, or socializing.

Coe Apartments
The Coe apartments were recently built thanks to the generosity
and vision of the following alumni:
- Morris House—named after alumnus Merlin E. “Curly” Morris, ‘36
- Schlarbaum House—named after donors Gary ’65, and
Ruthanne ’67 Schlarbaum
- Brandt House —named in honor of the parents of Joan Brandt
Ringoen ‘50
- Spivey House—named
in honor of the family of Bruce Spivey ‘56
These apartments can accommodate up to 28 students, and most
suites include four single bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a shared
kitchen and living area. Providing all the comforts of home,
the Coe apartments come equipped with modular bedroom furniture
such as a bed, desk, and armoire, refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove,
and a dining room table with chairs. Two apartment houses contain
electronic classrooms.
Room assignments for the apartments are made through a number-draw
system. Students residing in the apartments take meals in the
dining room, where a variety of meal plans are available, or
prepare their own food.

living, Kohawk Village provides just that. Kohawk
Village provides an alternative to residence hall living at the
same price with no board plan required. Room configurations
