Lowell Center Extension and Service Changes
University Housing will be continuing to use the Lowell Center as a residence hall for the upcoming two academic years (2022-23 and 2023-24).

Beginning January 6, 2022, Housing employees will be fully staffing the Lowell Center in place of UW Conference Centers staff who have maintained operations during the 2021 fall semester.
