Pioneer Hall

Pioneer Hall is NWU’s most recently remodeled residence hall that enables students to form a close and supportive community. Pioneer Hall joins with Johnson Hall via a large basement lounge that includes a small kitchen, pool table, ping pong table, study tables and a TV area. It is also the closest residence hall to the Story Student Center and the dining hall. Pioneer Hall houses first year residents and is generally co-educational by half floors.
