Independence Complex

Independence Complex, located on Laird Campus, is comprised of Thomas McKean, James Smith, George Read North and South, and Independence Hall. The newly constructed complex is complete with modern technology access and state-of-the-art amenities.

Independence Complex is just a ten-minute walk from Main Street and the Trabant University Center, and is home to Pencader Dining Hall. Shuttle buses run to Laird Campus every ten-to-fifteen minutes, providing Independence residents with easy access to the rest of campus.

Currently, James Smith, Thomas McKean, and Independence Hall are upperclass residence halls, while George Read Hall houses freshmen.

Independence residents live in double and single-room suites with a connecting bath. Each suite has off-white walls, tile floors, window treatments, and adjustable heat and air conditioning controls, along with standard UD furniture.

Laundry facilities are available in each building, and every floor has common areas and/or study lounges for student use.

A new fitness center is available on the ground floor of Independence Hall, which can be used by all complex residents. Independence Square, a turf field outside of Independence Hall, is also provided for student use.
