Emery-Woolley
“

My friends and I often bake things (like cakes or brownies) in the kitchen. Just chilling in the kitchen is a great way to build relationships, since you're all waiting for something that you then enjoy together.

”
Built in 1963 and renovated in 2002, Emery and Woolley Halls are named after Anne Crosby Emery Allinson, second dean of Pembroke College, and Mary Emma Woolley, one of the first two women graduates in 1894. Together with Morriss-Champlin, Emery-Woolley completes the Pembroke Quadrangle. Both buildings consist of clusters of two or three rooms that share a single-use bathroom and a hall storage closet. The doubles in the residence halls serve as first-year housing, while the singles house upperclassmen. Each floor has a small kitchen and lounge with laundry facilities adjacent. Emery Hall is serviced by an elevator.
