The second phase of the Student Housing Village includes the 79,000-square-foot Culebra Residence Hall and the 85,458-square-foot Greenhorn Residence Hall. With a mix of unit types including two bedroom/four occupant suites, two bedroom/two occupant suites, one bedroom/two occupant suites, and single bed/RA and ADA suites, individual student privacy is achieved with more than half of the suite mix providing private bedrooms for each resident. Each suite—which comes equipped with data connections and cable TV—has a dedicated bay for desk space to study, walk-in or enclosed storage closets and a compartmentalized bathroom. Within the residential neighborhood, study classrooms are available for group, individual study, and seminar use.

The 237-bed Culebra is unique among the three residence halls in that it houses the “grab’n’go” bistro that faces the Oval. With exterior access this amenity activates the pedestrian plane, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor spaces and becoming a secure, late-night student hang out on campus. While both Culebra and Greenhorn provide living/learning commons with a great room, game room, computer lab, warming kitchen, central laundry, vending, mail, group study rooms, control desk, and administration offices, Greenhorn also houses a multi-media classroom. The 266-bed Greenhorn unifies the housing precinct and defines the northern edge of campus, with married student apartments to the west, and the freshman-sophomore dormitory to the south. It completes two major north/south paseos between the buildings, connecting parking at Walking Stick Boulevard and forming a series of private quads to trellis covered plazas on the academic core to the south.
