Calderón

Calderón Hall offers a suite-style living experience for primarily sophomores and juniors, with shared bedrooms, in-suite bathrooms, and common areas that give you personal space without missing out on the campus living vibe.

Calderón Hall is a suite-style Campus Living Community for mostly first-years and sophomores. Four students share each suite with an internal bathroom. The hall has plenty of shared spaces to make campus life easier: study lounges, community kitchens, classrooms, a game room, and the third-floor Summit Lounge, where you can take in some of the best mountain views on campus.

You’re right in the middle of it all at Calderón Hall, just a 5-minute walk to the University Union and close to dining, classes, and the bus line. Originally opened in 2008, the building was renamed to honor NAU alum and longtime advocate Ernest Calderón.
