North Campus is one of the largest residential communities at the University of Connecticut. Approximately 1,300 students live here. North Campus consists of the following buildings: New Haven, Fairfield, Litchfield, Tolland, Hurley, Baldwin, McConaughy, Windham, Middlesex, Hartford, and New London. Besides convenience, residential living offers many educational opportunities. Informal educational opportunities are essential aspects of the total university experience and residence halls provide an important setting for this. Residence hall communities teach responsible citizenship and develop personal and social values.
Students and staff work collaboratively to develop a caring, intellectual, just, and celebrative community. We strive to provide well maintained, accessible, and progressive environments that support learning. We strive for an atmosphere in which mutual trust, caring, and respect exist among students.
North Campus features several study areas. Most buildings have a study lounge with tables and chairs. Some floors also have a pit lounge. The McConaughy Multipurpose Room, located below the cafeteria, is also available for studying. Please be sure that the room is not reserved for something else.
Each standard double room is 11' x 14' and comes furnished with a desk and chair, small bureau, and a bunkable bed (1 piece of each furniture per each student). The mattress size for the beds are 80" x 36". The beds are not loftable and homemade lofts are not allowed in any residence hall.

History
Baldwin Hall was named for Raymond E. Baldwin. Born in 1893, Baldwin was the governor, U.S. senator, and Chief Justice of Connecticut, who signed the bill changing the name of the Connecticut State College to the University of Connecticut in 1939.
Hurley Hall was named for Robert Augustine Hurley. Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on August 25, 1895, the Democratic governor of Connecticut (1941-1943), was the first Roman Catholic in the state's history to serve as governor. In 1937, Governor Wilbur Cross appointed Robert as assistant state director of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and then state administrator. He supervised the building of parks, bridges, storm and sanitary buildings, and hundreds of miles of roads. He then went on to become Commissioner of Public Works, supervising a $500 million construction program, which included Wilbur Cross Library, the School of Home Economics, and Manchester, Whitney, Sprague and Wood Halls. He died in May, 1968.
McConaughy Hall was named for James Lukens McConaughy. Born in New York City in 1887, James McConaughy was first the president of Wesleyan College, then lieutenant governor under Governor Raymond Baldwin, and then governor of Connecticut from 1947 until his death in 1948.
The remainder of the buildings in North campus were named after Connecticut counties: Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London, Tolland, and Windham. Each of these residence halls was built in 1950.
