On floors 1-4 of all 3 towers, the configuration of the 10 and 20 suite may vary due to the connection to the commons. Every floor contains eight suites, numbered 10 through 80, each containing three rooms, labeled A through C. For example, N2320B is in North tower, on the twenty-third floor, in the twenty suite, and is the middle room in that suite. There are several configurations of suites, each housing four or five people in single-, double-, or triple-occupancy rooms. Suite-mates share a common hallway and bathroom. Each resident's room key also opens the door into the appropriate suite hallway. Certain suites and rooms are adaptable to meet the requirements of residents with special needs. '''East Tower''' contains six apartment-style suites per floor, each housing six people in two single rooms, two double rooms, and a shared bath and kitchen.
