Keeton House was designed to support a vibrant intellectual resident community. Keeton House has two main residential areas, Keeton-North and Keeton-South, which are connected by the main lobby on the first floor. The residents of Keeton House have full access to both areas. The Dining Hall in the Ground floor is open to the larger Cornell community during public hours.
FLOOR ARRANGEMENT
A floor color is designated to every floor in Keeton House, which corresponds to the student staff (either a Graduate Resident Fellow or an Undergraduate Resident Fellow) living on that floor. Floor colors are used to group residents for special House Dinners.
Keeton-North houses all rooms that have two-digit room numbers under 60 and Keeton-South houses all rooms that have two-digit room numbers over 60.
(Just remember this: Keeton-North <60, Keeton South >60)
AMENITIES
Every floor has more or less the same basic amenities with slight differences.
