Residence Halls
Center Hall
The WKU Student Life Foundation has finalized a lease agreement with the Hyatt Place Hotel, located at the north end of campus on Center Street, adjacent to El Mazatlán Mexican restaurant, the Martens Alumni Center, and WKU’s Kentucky Street Apartments.
WKU Housing & Residence Life staff will operate the space, now known as "Center Hall." Center Hall is the only WKU residence hall with access to an on-site swimming pool—a unique perk for residents. All rooms will be double occupancy (two per room) and all rooms feature private bathrooms with sliding, locking frosted glass doors.
Each room has a private bathroom.
