University Housing and UW Conference Centers are partnering to use space in Lowell Center for undergraduate housing at UW-Madison. Lowell Center, which originally opened in 1961 as a private residence hall, has operated for many years as a campus hotel, offering a great location near Memorial Union, Memorial Library, and State Street with beautiful views of Lake Mendota.
Undergraduate resident rooms at Lowell Center are a mix of singles, doubles, and triples, each with a private bathroom. Residents have typical residence hall furniture and storage space in their rooms, along with access to high-speed internet, laundry facilities, and shared spaces for studying and socializing, similar to other residence halls. On-site Residence Life staff provide student support and programming throughout the year.

Heating & Cooling
Tips
- Try small adjustments first to avoid overheating/cooling
- Do not push furniture, bedding, or belongings against convectors as this could block airflow
- When in your room during the heating season, open curtains and blinds during the day to allow the sun to warm the room naturally and prevent air from being trapped against the window, and close them at night to decrease drafts — during the cooling season, do the reverse
- Keep doors and windows closed when the heat or air conditioning is on
- Consider using blankets and sweaters instead of turning up the heat
- Open windows slightly for short periods of time to allow outside air to circulate
- When possible, keep the room door open to promote air movement and introduce fresh air
- Take wet clothing or towels to a laundry room to be washed/dried ASAP to reduce moisture
- Run a fan to help circulate air
- Fish tanks, plants, humidifiers, and diffusers can contribute to humidity/moisture levels in your room
- Know how to use Moisture Absorbing Hangers in your room and make sure to replace them when they’re full. More information can be found in this document about Using Moisture Absorbing Hangers in Your Room.
