Boland – Brewster – Brockway Hall

Boland, Brewster, and Brockway Hall are dormitories on the Syracuse University campus. They are located at 401 Van Buren St. They are three separate dormitories, but within the same complex, so they are often associated with one another. The dormitories were built in 1966.[1] The building in this complex holds a total of 788 students on 21 floors. All floors are coed by alternating rooms, but are single gender in each room. The room types include singles, split doubles, open doubles, triples, and four person suites. The BBB Facebook page is located at https://www.facebook.com/BBBatSU. The BBB complex is on both the Quad Shuttle and Connective Corridor bus routes, which can be found at http://centro.org/Syracuse-University-Service.aspx.
