First-Year Housing
The Grove
The new 415-bed residence hall is located in the South Quad and is purposefully designed to promote extracurricular opportunities for students and enrich the living-learning experience. The design includes group gathering spaces, lounges and an outdoor courtyard to help build community while also advancing career readiness and emotional wellbeing. The air-conditioned residence hall will include single and double bedrooms.

Hall and Room Features
About 300 first-year students, about 100 sophomores, juniors and seniors, and 15 resident assistants (RAs) will live in the building along with a residence hall director and faculty fellow.
It is designed to offer an enriching community experience for those who want to be surrounded by an inspiring environment ripe for self-discovery, exploration and growth focusing on personal, interpersonal and civic engagement skills.
The living experience will emphasize positive local community connections. Sophomores, juniors and seniors living in The Grove will focus in on a "big idea," which will provide a foundation to give back and problem-solve an issue with the local community and Quinnipiac and then collaborate with the first-year students to address challenges and accomplish their collective goals. Students will embark on this year-long project working with faculty and student mentors to develop their big idea.
As a group of students, they will make real-world connections to the community to advance their understanding and their thinking about their idea of interest. Residents will also participate in a first-year seminar course to tie their big idea with their academic journey.
In addition, from native plants and trees to rain gardens, water-runoff prevention measures and lighting designed to minimize light pollution, The Grove stands as a symbol of Quinnipiac’s environmentally consciousness initiatives.

Meet our faculty in residence: Tan Gürpinar
I am thrilled to step into my upcoming role as faculty fellow in residence at The Grove. Throughout the year, I will work with our students, staff and faculty on "big ideas" providing a foundation to give back and problem-solve issues with local communities and beyond.
My experience as a faculty member in the School of Business, specializing in blockchain and emerging tech's impact on society, aligns perfectly with my passion for interdisciplinary projects and sustainability. My journey into academia, with experiences spanning across continents and cultures, has shaped my commitment to collaboration and innovation.
These projects are designed not only to enhance students’ academic and professional growth but also to evoke a sense of purpose and responsibility in contributing positively to the world around us. I'm excited to mentor students, drive impactful projects and foster positive change. I am happy to connect!
