Named for board member William Mayer and his wife Katherine, both long time supporters of the University, the 248-person building features suite-style living with either two singles or two doubles sharing a bathroom. Some rooms have transom windows, while others have semi-shared balconies. Each room has custom, movable, hardwood furniture; cable TV; and internet access. Mayer is designed to promote community building around the many social lounges, kitchens, and study lounges throughout the hall. In addition, Mayer has two upstairs patios, two sundecks on the top floor, and is attached to Le Gourmet.
