The four high-rises, Pavek, Seim, Sevrinson, and Thompson, are co-ed residence halls. Each high rise hall is comprised of four houses, which consist of two floors sharing a common lounge and overlooking balcony. Men and women live on separate floors. High rises are arranged into suites. In this arrangement, two double rooms share a common foyer area with a shower and toilet facilities. All four halls are connected by tunnel to the West Dining Center. High rise residence halls are available to first-year students and upperclassmen, and all residents are required to purchase a meal plan.

Sevrinson is the home of the Engineering and Architecture House, which offers a computer cluster and a special living environment to students with majors in the College of Engineering and Architecture. In Seim Hall, floors 8 and 9 comprise the Wellness Community, in which residents focus on all dimensions of wellness. Community members also pledge to abstain from alcohol and tobacco use, both on and off campus.
