Decker Hall was named for Vernetta F. Decker, a professor of English and speech from 1926-1937 who then became The College's dean of students. Built in 1963, Decker Hall was renovated in 1992.
Decker Hall is a co-ed suite style facility housing approximately 360 students in uncarpeted single, double, or triple rooms, with two rooms sharing a bathroom.
Allen, Brewster, Ely Halls

Built in 1931, these traditional residence halls were
upgraded and renovated in 1991. The buildings were
named for Elizabeth Allen (founder of the State
Teachers Pension and Annuity Fund), Alice L. Brewster
(professor in The College's English Department) and
Sarah Y. Ely (professor and Normal School supervisor
of the girl's department).
While at one time Allen, Brewster and Ely were three seperate houses they have since been joined by enclosed throughfares to form one residence hall. ABE houses approximately 150 students in a traditional style arrangement. Every room in ABE is unique in size and layout. The hallways and rooms of ABE are carpeted. ABE is home to a beautiful main lounge called the Allen Drawing Room, which is complete with a hardwood floor, fireplace, grand piano and antique furnishings.

This "U-shaped" building houses males on two floors in one wing and females on three floors in the second wing, with common area lounge space connecting the two wings. Students housed in this facility use community bathrooms and have access to a community kitchen next to the main lounge area.
Individual rooms, of both double and single occupancy, have built-in closets and windows that span from wall to wall. Each student is provided with a desk, an above-desk bookshelf, a bed (bunkable in double rooms), and a set of drawers for storage space.
