The 2004 new year marked the opening of a new addition on the TTU campus—a 92,680-SF residence hall, located at the corner of North Dixie Avenue and Ninth Street, which was formerly home to Dixie/Rye and Meadows/Early dormitories.

Preliminary design work included a master plan of the quadrangle, which allows for future facilities similar to the hall and demolition design of the site to make way for the new addition. The four-story Georgian-style design blends with the predominant campus architecture and consists of three wings, which feature 180 double occupancy rooms. Interior finishes of the rooms, which contain ample closet space and private baths, are warm and inviting, a step above institutional Navaho white walls.

Amenities include an expansive three-story atrium lobby, which features a striking purple wallcovering as its focal point, Artistone terrazzo tile flooring, oak panels, and soft pendant and sconce lighting. A nicely appointed lounge is located off the atrium, as well as two staff offices and conference space. Other common spaces include a laundry with adjoining lounge, three study rooms, and multi-purpose room. Resident assistant and hall director quarters are interspersed among the floors of the co-educational facility, which incorporates life safety features and complies with the American Disabilities Act.
