Last fall, 309 upperclassmen, six RAs, a residence hall director, and a resident minister became the first occupants of Boston College's newest student residence. Located at 110 St. Thomas More Road near the St. Ignatius Gate on the lower campus, the building was quickly dubbed by students "The Gate." The exterior suggests an offspring of the modern gothic St. Ignatius Church and the more angular Vanderslice Hall nearby. The six-story L-shaped structure contains 296 windows, 600 tons of structural steel, and 12,753 square feet of granite; its rooms are configured in six- and eight-person suites.
