The Alumni Houses are a collection of eleven residence halls at the center of campus. The houses are commonly referred to as the "Toasters", and are mostly first-year students.
The first of which were designed by James Polshek and Partners in 1987 and consist of five adjacent residence halls. The first four are named in honor of alumni, Richard Rovere '37, William Rueger '40, The Reverend Frederick A. Shafer '37 and John H. Steinway '39 and house 19 students each. The fifth, Honey House, houses 9 students.
In January of 2001, a group of six additional student residence halls, Bourne, Bluecher, Leonard, Obreshkove, Shelov and Wolff opened their doors. These buildings house between 19 and 21 students each.
