About the Residence Halls
LCC has two Residence Halls on campus constructed in 2007 & 2011 where most of our students coming from more than 60 countries reside during the academic year. It is a home away from home – a community where each person is valued, respected and safety is a priority. In order for this to happen, everyone must help to create an atmosphere where we can live, study and have fun together.
Neumann Hall
Neumann Hall is a 6 story building that houses up to 258 students. It has 10 floor communities; each floor with 5 rooms surrounding a lounge kitchen. Each room houses 4-6 people with a shared common entryway, a private WC and shower, a food storage area and a refrigerator. The bedroom areas are furnished with bunk beds, desks, chairs and cabinets for each student. A multi-purpose lounge has a community kitchen: a big gathering space where most events happen.
The Neumann Lobby is also a common event area with a lot of space to study, ping pong table for recreation, and comfortable chairs and couches.
Enns Hall
Enns Hall is home to up to 140 students and hosts 4 floors of student rooms with a large kitchen lounge space on each floor. Rooms in Enns Hall house between 4 – 6 people with a shared common entryway, a private WC and shower, a food storage area and refrigerator. The bedroom areas are furnished with bunk beds, desks, chairs and shelves for each student.

Residents are free to use both Neumann and Enns Hall spaces. Some of the spaces are walk-in, and some can be reserved. (Spaces that are reservable are marked on the door). You can reserve a room at reception.

Kitchen Duty
Each night, RAs on duty check kitchen duty. If you do not pass kitchen duty you will receive a slip on your door, asking you to complete the missed items and send pictures to your RD by 12:00 the next day. The first time you miss kitchen duty it is a warning. The second time (or if you fail to send pictures on time) you will be assigned extra days. 2 or more missed kitchen duties will have additional consequences.
As a resident, you are responsible for completing kitchen duty when you are assigned (about once per month). Kitchen duty must be complete by 22:00. Your assigned day will be posted on a calendar near the kitchen door. Complete all tasks listed on the calendar.

Your Room will be inspected twice a month. The shared spaces in your room (sinks, fridge, WC, shower) will be checked both times, your individual Area will be checked once.
At the beginning of the year, you and your roommates will fill out a schedule of cleaning the shared spaces.
If you fail your room inspection more than once, you may face additional consequences.
