Rich Hall
Named after Isaac Rich, one of the founders of Boston University, Rich Hall is the building farthest west of the three towers. The 2nd floor has a different layout than the rest of the building due to it previously being an infirmary. It contains the most beds of any of the three towers in West Campus. The entire interior of the building was renovated in summer 2012, making it the final dorm in West Campus to receive modernization.
Unlike, Claflin and Sleeper Hall, Rich Hall does not have a dining hall occupying its first floor. Instead, the first floor consists of recently renovated lounge and study areas, including a cinema and game room.

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or hall:
“Let those talk of poverty and hard times who will in the towns and cities; cannot the emigrant who can pay his fare to New York or Boston pay five dollars more to get here ... and be as rich as he pleases, where land virtually costs nothing, and houses only the labor of building, and he may begin life as Adam did? If he will still remember the distinction of poor and rich, let him bespeak him a narrower house forthwith.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Bernard always had a few prayers in the hall and some whiskey afterwards as he was rather pious.”
—Daisy Ashford (1881–1972)
