Residence Halls

Marie Robinson Hall (MRH), South Campus

For upperclass undergraduate students (incoming first year students are not eligible). This co-ed building just opened in August 2001 and is home to 320 students. While most residents occupy 4-bedroom, 4 person apartments, there are a number of 1 and 2 person apartments as well. All students have individual private bedrooms, and apartments are equipped with full kitchens and private bathrooms. There are extensive common areas on all floors, as well as a Faculty in Residence and a Resident Director on the 4th floor.

The Board of Trustees has named our South Campus residence halls after two former student affairs administrators who worked to change the character of UIC from a commuter campus to one with a substantial resident population. Our first South Campus residence, previously called Maxwell Street Residence is now Marie Robinson Hall, named for the previous Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (from 1992-94). She rose from head of the department of medical social work to Associate Dean of her college and was named Vice Chancellor in 1992. She was the first African-American to achieve that rank at UIC. She died of cancer in 1994 at the age of 58.
