Copley Hall

Copley Hall is a suite-style, coed residence hall known for its history and prominent campus location. Named for Fr. Thomas Copley S.J., this neo-gothic residence building opened in 1932 and is a gray stone structure with arched doorways located across from the main gates. Directly in front of the building is Copley Lawn, a common site for student activity events such as barbecues, fairs, and concerts. It also serves as a popular site to study, throw a frisbee, or just relax during sunny days!

Copley is one of the most historic residence halls on campus. There are many special features and spaces connected to the building, including Servant of God Sr. Thea Bowman Chapel of St. William, Copley Formal Lounge, and the Copley Crypt Chapel of the North American Martyrs. Copley also contains a Multi-Purpose Room in the basement level for resident use.

Community Directors are professional live-in staff members employed by the University. These professionals work directly with students, Residential Ministers, Faculty-in-Residence and campus partners to create a formative living learning environment for our students. Community Directors oversee the Resident Assistant staff within their residential community and develop and implement community educational plans.

Resident Assistants

Resident Assistants (RAs) are student leaders who live in our campus communities and help create a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all residents. From hosting programs to offering guidance and responding in times of need, RAs play a vital role in shaping the Georgetown residential experience.

Security

Access doors to residential buildings are secured, and students must use their GOCard for building access. Each room has its own door with a lock that residents are encouraged to secure at all times.
