2024 Room of the Year Highlights

Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit their room for our 2024 “Room of the Year” contest! We received many incredible entries, and it was difficult to narrow down our winners.

After careful review, we have selected winners from each building/community that participated and opened up the top room from across campus for voting. Your votes have been counted and the list of winners, and photos of the top 5 rooms, have been compiled below.
