Welcome to Yellowstone!

Yellowstone is the second newest hall on campus – built in 2016 and prides itself on its LEED Gold certification. LEED Certification is a global solution for cities that implements sustainable designs, construction, and operation to reduce carbon emissions, energy and waste, conserve water, and more. Located right next to the intramural fields, Outdoor Rec, and Miller Dining Commons, Yellowstone is positioned with several amenities surrounding it. Home to the only residence hall ice machine and most of the on-campus athlete population, Yellowstone is an active and strong community home to 400 students. Yellowstone’s annual community event is the Yellowstone Hall Council traditional, Yellowstone Royale. Royale is an exciting night of card games and celebration for on-campus students in the Yellowstone Lobby. Again, welcome to Yellowstone Hall, we are excited to have you here in your new home and are happy to answer any questions you may have!
