Department of Residential Life

Welcome to Ordal!

We’re a big hall, with a big heart and a community that feels like family, and we’re excited you’re interested in being a part of our community!

Hall Features:
Some highlights of Ordal are the bay windows in our rooms, lounges with plenty of space to hang out and study, and kitchens on every floor.

Location, location, location:
Ordal is just steps away from the Admin building, Lagerquist, Mary Baker Russell Music building, and a quick walk to the library!

Renovations and improvements include:

• Card access on new resident room doors – no more room keys!
• Energy efficient windows
• Moveable desks and chairs in each room
• Overhead LED lights in resident rooms – improved lighting and energy efficiency
• Fresh paint and new flooring
• Fully renovated bathrooms with increased privacy and heated floors
• New common area furniture
• Renovated open floor plan on the first floor kitchen
• Open floor plan kitchens on 2nd and 3rd floors
• The lounges on the 3rd floor will incorporate the balcony area and increase the overall square footage
• Steel plates reinforcing the walls to significantly improve safely should an earthquake happen in the region

Wondering what it’s like to be assigned a roommate? Let Sarah and Anna share their experience with you.
