Thompson Hall Frances Willson Thompson Hall is the on-campus residence facility for Kettering University.

It has a spacious lobby/lounge, used for most social events, containing a sizable board-game collection and two big screen televisions. Smaller lounges are located in various units. There is a laundry room in the basement of the hall, and each student has a personal mailbox lo cated at the northeast entrance to unit 11. At the end of each hallway is a community bathroom.

Resident Rooms Each resident room is equipped with a single bed, desk and chair, wardrobe unit with shelves, and with a micro fridge and microwave. All rooms are air conditioned and heated. Most residents share a suite with another resident (two private rooms connected by a door). Residents share community bathrooms, which are located at the intersections of each hallway. Suite rooms are 11 by 15 feet whereas single rooms are slightly smaller. All rooms are carpe ted, but if a student wishes to purchase an area rug, an 8 by 5 foot rug is suggested. There are two door wardrobes with hanging space and shelf space. In all suite rooms, there is a pocket door connecting the suite rooms and can be “pegged” shut when necessary. All rooms have individual telecommunications boxes with individual phone lines. Each room has one overhead fluorescent light. Students may wish to bring their own lamps.
