Located on [[vernon_street|Vernon Street]] across from the [[english_department_building_115_vernon|English Department building]], the Vernon Place Residential Community is a dormitory that houses upper-year students. 

The dormitory consists of single rooms and four-bedroom suites, which include a common room, but unlike other upper-level suites, have no private bathrooms. Each floor has two communal bathrooms and a community lounge shared by all residents. Three Community Advisors live in the building.


Construction on both the 44,000 sq. ft. dormitory and adjacent gathering space known as the [[cornelia_center|Cornelia Center]] was completed in 1997. The buildings were designed by architect Tai Soo Kim, who is internationally recognized and [[hartford|Hartford]]-based.
