Four connected buildings—Homer, Nickerson, South, and East Halls—form the basis of the hillside Quad complex, where Rhode Island School of Design freshmen are housed. The four-story Homer and Nickerson buildings house between 12 and 38 students per floor, who live in single or shared rooms with common bathrooms on each floor. East and South halls offer suites with four to eight single or shared rooms, common lounges, and several individual bathrooms. Although exact sizes and shapes vary, double rooms in all Quad halls are approximately 168 square feet and single rooms are roughly 94 square feet.
