Indigenous Quad

Welcome to Indigenous Quad 

Indigenous Quad is home to our incoming first-year students. It offers a traditional residence hall environment, with a Resident Assistant (RA) assigned to each floor of the low-rise buildings and on every other floor of the tower. RAs live on site and serve as a resource for students. 

Indigenous Quad’s buildings include Mohawk Tower, Adirondack Hall, Cayuga Hall, Mahican Hall, Montauk Hall, Oneida Hall, Onondaga Hall, Seneca Hall and Tuscarora Hall. Download a campus map.
