Morriss boasts semi-private bathrooms, big rooms, and laundry rooms on each floor. I love living in Morriss!

”
Built in 1960 and renovated in 2001, Morriss and Champlin Halls were the first two buildings (Emery and Woolley Halls coming later) in a residence and dining quadrangle built for Pembroke College. Originally, the first floor of Champlin Hall housed a health center, with these rooms later being converted into residential space, many of them with private bathrooms. Champlin Hall is named for George B. Champlin, a Providence jewelry manufacturer, and Morriss Hall is named for Margaret S. Morriss, dean of the Women's College and Pembroke College from 1923 to 1950. The doubles in the residence halls serve as first-year housing, while the singles house Counselors or upperclassmen. Each floor has a small kitchen and lounge with laundry facilities adjacent. Champlin Hall is serviced by an elevator.
