This year marks the inaugural launch of on‑campus employee housing, offering faculty and staff the same convenience, amenities, and community‑focused environment enjoyed by our student residents. Located within Pioneer Heights, this new housing option provides easy access to campus facilities, eliminates commuting and parking challenges, and offers a modern, comfortable living experience supported by the university’s residential life resources.

While we are excited to introduce this new on‑campus opportunity, we continue to offer general off‑campus housing resources for employees exploring options in the surrounding area, including general guidance on local rentals and neighborhoods.
