community kitchen, espresso stand, convenience store, fitness room, laundry
room, Residence Life offices, a conference room, and a reception desk. The
Parsons lobby has a quiet sitting area with a fire place and a lounge with a
flat screen TV. The second and third floors each have a study lounge, and
there are comfortable sitting areas throughout the building. Parsons is
equipped with wireless internet, cable in each room, and proximity card
security locks on exterior and interior doors.
All buildings have clear stream recycling in the lobby for plastic
