Brody Neighborhood

Main Brody Building

The Brody Neighborhood is located on the west side of campus just north of the Red Cedar River.

This neighborhood is comprised of six residence halls that surround Brody Hall, where many of the neighborhood's common services, including Brody Square dining hall, are located. All residence halls in the Brody Neighborhood feature community-style bathrooms and all halls except Butterfield are co-ed by wing. The halls also feature the biggest student rooms on campus and parking just outside of the buildings. Brody is located close to the Spartan athletic facilities and the Breslin Student Events Center.

After a 15-month renovation, Brody Square dining hall opened in August 2010. Brody Square offers a wide variety of fresh, flavorful dishes in nine new food venues. The venues include made-to-order stir-fry, freshly made pizzas, smoothies, vegan and vegetarian entrees, made-to-order pasta, made-to-order Southwestern fare, hand-rolled sushi and more. The dining hall also features a demonstration kitchen where students are able to learn the latest in cooking techniques from experienced chefs, like Brody's Executive Chef David Brown.

Bailey and Rather Halls Renovations Underway (PDF)
Work is currently being done to Bailey and Rather Halls. In fall 2010, consultants completed extensive surveying and programming and finalized the initial design concepts. The halls will be under construction through July 2012. The first-, second-, third- and fourth-floor common areas are being completely renovated. New study, game, office and meeting spaces will carve out sections of the existing common areas on each of the four floors. The first floor will have a redesigned reception, office, vending, mail sorting and trash and recycling areas. The third floor will be home to the communal laundry room and kitchen. All of communal bathrooms will also be renovated.
