The Housing and Residence Life staff want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your Emerson campus experience. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2010, the Paramount Center Residence Hall will house 260 students primarily in double rooms in four-or six-person suite-like environments with a shared bathroom. Some stand alone doubles are also available in the Paramount. Residents will share common floor lounges with kitchenettes and a centralized landry facility.
ArtsEmerson
ArtsEmerson: The World on Stage is committed to bringing the world’s legendary and pioneering artists to Emerson College, presenting work from this country and abroad you’ve never had an opportunity to see—at least, not without first heading to the airport. Based in the heart of Boston’s historic theatre district—on the Emerson College campus—ArtsEmerson programs includ culturally enriching theatre, film, and music. To further engage the Emerson College community, much of the work of ArtsEmerson will evolve out of periodic, multi-year residencies designed to facilitate the creation of new work and to provide opportunities for students, faculty and the community to engage in the creative process.

Historic Preservation
Planners and architects have done a careful job in restoring parts of the original building and incorporating them with parts of the new building. "Every nook and cranny is exciting," said Robert Orchard, Executive Director for the Arts. "It's been beautifully reimagined by the College."
