In May of 2006, Clark University broke ground on Blackstone Hall, a new apartment style residence hall. This state of the art facility opened to students for the 2007-2008 academic year, and primarily houses juniors and seniors. Blackstone Hall, located along Beaver Street and Florence Street, houses 204 students in 43 apartment units. Each unit houses 4 or 6 students in a mix of double and single rooms. Blackstone Hall is located on the south side of campus adjacent to the Lasry Center for Bioscience. It is also the closest residence facility to the Dolan Field House.
