It is located near Sorority Row, the Education Library and Fresh Food Company, an on-campus dining center. Jennings Hall is a traditional residence hall that offers double and triple rooms. “You either have to convert your beds into these weird bunk beds that aren't actually bunk beds or sleep so close to each other that you could hold hands every night,” Simpson said. “It's further from food and things to do,” Tosi said. “Parking is hard around there,” Lucke said. “Our built-ins were really good for closet space,” Samantha Simpson said. “Having your own bathroom, and then also having staff that comes and cleans it once a week was nice,” Lucke said. “The study room in the common area was awesome,” Ava Lucke said. “I was like, ‘I really want to live here.’” “It's one of the only apartment-style dorms,” Kristina Tosi, a psychology sophomore said. The apartment-style housing was unusual at the time, making it stand out. They were renamed after UF’s first dean of student personnel Robert Calder Beaty in 1971, and the towers became the East and West Towers.īeaty Towers was the first UF residence hall with central air conditioning. It first opened in 1967 as the Twin Towers and were called Tower A and Tower B, housing women and men respectively. “We had a tie-dye and gelato event, and you could see all the residents interacting with each other,” Cruz said.īeaty Towers’ amenities include 24/7 area desk services, laundry facilities, mail services, nighttime security patrols, furnished bedrooms, food market and a student night time shuttle pick up point, according to UF’s housing website. Kenneth Cruz, a 19-year-old psychology sophomore, was the secretary of the Tower Area government his freshman year and helped plan events for the hall. The towers can hold up to 787 students who can connect through events led by the Tower Area government and residence hall staff. There are two bedrooms per apartment, each containing two twin beds that can be bunked or separated, according to UF’s housing website.īeaty Towers houses a living learning community specifically for Innovation Academy students. It is an apartment-style residence hall and includes a private bathroom, study and kitchenette in each suite.
Standing over 160 feet tall, the Beaty Towers sit on the southeast side of campus near on-campus dining, Broward Recreational Center, libraries and sorority row.
