Bleak lia 11 Dave’s liaven EDGERTON PARK For the neighbors Many of the married students of RIT find that Edgerton Park meets their need for hous- ing facilities. This residence operated by the Institute is located on Backus Street about a mile and a quarter from the Institute. The types of apartments offered range from studios to three-room units. Community areas are available and are used for parties by the married residents; the children have their own recreational area. These common living areas provide the basis for drawing the students and their families into a meaningful social unit.

22 An adequate housing program is necessary to provide for the well-being of the students. The established program encompasses the residence halls, fraternity houses, and private homes and apartments. The housing administration seeks to serve the student’s need for proper living accommodations. To accomplish this, housing standards have been established that apply to Institute-owned and to privately-owned housing which is available to all students. The present housing situation serves as a foundation for developing the standards and policies to be established at the Henrietta campus. Uniform standards will be easier to achieve when the housing units are more central- ized. Effective communication is necessary if Housing is to carry out its planned objectives.
