by erica margolius Situated far away from the crazy Greenwood Avenues and Elm Streets of central campus, the Northwood 1-V complexes provided a peaceful atmosphere for students and faculty to raise families. With 1,483 available apartments and 3,777 residents, Northwood I-V comprised the third largest family housing operation in the United States. The units ranged from efficiencies to three bedrooms and were available to married students and faculty (same-sex domestic partnerships also qualified for eligibility) or single parents with legal custody of children. In addition to providing basic living quarters, the University family housing program offered numerous resources to assist family members. Perhaps the two most important resources Family Housing provided were child- care programs and a health clinic. Although limited in the number of available spots, the Child Development Center, the University ' s year-round licensed childcare facility on North Campus, and the Pound House on central campus provided enriching environments where University parents could leave their children during the day. The health clinic, also located on North Campus, offered preventative and diagnostic care to families. Other benefits for family housing residents included a language program teaching English for the large international population, a Single Parent network, and various courses on topics ranging from yoga to car repair. The majority of these activities took place in the Family Housing Community Center located on Northwood V. The community center was considered by many to be the nucleus of the family residential area. This was the first place they (residents) stopped to pick up their keys and the last place they visited when they turned in their keys at the end of the year, commented Family Housing director Melaku Mekonnen. He added, We are comfortable with the level of service we provide, but are always looking for areas of improvement. Families gather at a picnic table outside of their homes on North Campus to have dinner in the brisk autumn weather. Those living in the Northwood housing units were provided with an abundance of resources from playgrounds and picnic tables outside of their homes to programs such as the Parent-Child Playgroup. Y.
