Eagle Hall, UW-La Crosse's newest residential living facility, opened in the fall of 2011. This LEED Gold certified residence hall is divided into two residence halls (Eagle Maroon and Eagle Gray). Eagle Maroon and Eagle Gray are located close to the Whitney Center (Dining) and the Recreational Eagle Center on the Northwest side of campus off of La Crosse Street.
Each residence hall houses 250 students and is designed as a semi-suite style building in which you share a room with one roommate and the adjoining bathroom is used by your room and the room next door, for a total of 4 people. Each room includes two desks, two dressers, large closet spaces, two twin (extra-long) beds, mini fridge, bookshelves, and trash/recycling bin. The beds can be lofted if you desire to gain more floor space. Loft kits are made available at the beginning of the academic year through the front desk.
Other amenities include: front desk services, lounges and private/group studies in each community, kitchen on each floor, game room and piano, computer lab, laundry facilities, high-speed Internet (including wireless throughout Eagle Hall), cable television and local phone service. Also in close proximity to Eagle Hall there is a volleyball court and two basketball courts.

This community provides a cross cultural experience for students interested in broadening their understanding of world issues and cultures. The Global Village increases opportunities for international and domestic students to live and learn together through this common living environment.

The Social Justice Living and Learning Community (LLC) is intended to be an inclusive and accepting community that has a focus on social justice and diversity. The Social Justice community will actively explore equality, peace and genuine respect for others. Students will live with others who share similar passions and values to build a close community while forging friendships in this living environment. Together students will live, learn and explore social activism, social change and the philosophical foundations of justice. If you have an interest in living in a community like this where you would learn about social, political and economic injustices, causes of oppression and various forms of privilege and power please contact Patrick Heise, Assistant Director of Residence Life (pheise@uwlax.edu). Outdoor Recreation Community (New Fall 2012)
The Outdoor Recreation Living and Learning community (LLC) is designed for students who have a passion and an interest for outdoor activities and the environment. Students must be open to challenges, have a desire to gain skills outside of the classroom, participate in extracurricular activities and events relating to the outdoors.

Outdoor experiences accelerate student learning about themselves and others. The UW-L Outdoor Connection has the equipment, trained staff & knowledge of the area to be able to facilitate this rich learning environment. The core components of the Outdoor Recreation LLC will be an Environmental Studies Course, residence hall and campus based events, wilderness trip experiences and skills workshops. Students in this community will take a class (Environmental Studies 201) together and there is an additional $250 fee each semester through the UW-L Outdoor Connection to cover the expenses of the 4 outdoor trips planned each semester.
