No, I believe E is for Sophomores this year. As for AC, I don’t think E complex has AC for every room.
E-Complex
I am an incoming freshmen and was placed in a single in Hirai Hall. This isn’t one of the freshman dorm choices and wasn’t one of my picks. I was wondering if this is now a freshman dorm or is it mixed and I could be place in a suite with upperclassman? Also since this in nowhere near the freshman dining hall am I allowed to eat in a closer dining hall?
Hirai Hall is a part of E-Complex and singles in Hirai are big and close to academic buildings. I believe it was Sophomore housing though. You can email Reslife about it and ask if there’s a mistake. I you end up living in E, you can go to Sage Dining Hall for food, which is about only 5 minutes walk from E.
Is there air conditioning in E Complex, and where are the kitchens and laundry located?
There is an AC in E complex. Kitchens and laundry you can look on floor plans of E COMP -> http://www.rpi.edu/dept/res-life/html/floorplans-ecomplex.html
I’m living in E Comp next year. Do the bathrooms have one shower or are there multiple?
There’s one shower per bathroom in E Complex.
Is there a dorm for freshman thats closest to the architecture school?
The closest dorms would be E-Complex or North. That being said it would be about 2 minutes closer than all other freshman dorms.
Will North and E-complex be open for sophomores next year (2017-18)?
North is for freshmen. E-complex is for upperclassmen.
Does E-Complex have a laundry room?
E-Complex does have a laundry room in its basement. Like all laundry on campus, it is free for student use.
Can you show some pictures of E-Complex and North Hall?
At this time E-Complex and North Hall are closed for renovations and will reopen in the fall. For this reason we do not have any pictures.
I was just wondering if juniors and seniors could live in quad and what junior and senior on campus housing options were.
Housing shifts slightly from year to year, depending on class sizes and other decisions. This year (2012-2013), only freshmen and sophomores are living in the Quad.
Juniors and seniors have options to live in RAHPs (Rensselaer Apartment Housing Projects), Stacwyck (Apartments on Sunset Terrace), Blitman, Colonie, Polytechnic, North Hall, E-Complex, and Bryckwyck.
