Ornelas Residential Center

Apartment-Style Living with a Strong Sense of Community

Make It Home

Looking for the privacy and independence of apartment living while staying connected to campus? Ornelas Residential Center offers apartment-style living for upperclassmen women in a welcoming community designed to help residents feel at home.

Built in 1996, Ornelas is a two-story, 191-bed residential center featuring apartments with four private bedrooms. The building also includes one three-bedroom apartment designed to accommodate students with mobility needs.

What You’ll Find

Each bedroom includes a built-in twin-size bed, desk, chair, dresser, and closet space. Apartments also feature a fully furnished living room, bathroom, and kitchen, giving residents the convenience of apartment-style living with the community and connections of campus life.

Ornelas offers plenty of opportunities for residents to connect and have fun together. Residence Life staff host events throughout the year, including arts and crafts nights, movie nights, and cookie decorating parties.

The hall is also home to Glow Bowl, an annual campus-wide event held at a local bowling alley in Marshall that brings the ETBU community together for a night of fun.
