Norelius Hall
- Norelius Hall houses first-year students in double-occupancy spaces.
- History: Opened in 1967. You might hear it referred to as "Co-Ed" since it was the first residence hall at Gustavus to house both men and women.
- Occupancy: 372 first-year students.
- Hall amenities: Section-style layout - 22 residents and one Collegiate Fellow around a common lounge space; main-level large lounge with fireplace and conversation area ('the pit'), two large study areas.
- Room amenities: Desk, desk chair, bed (mattress & frame), and closet/wardrobe space is provided for each resident. Beds (wooden bed frames) can be bunked. Lofting a bed requires a rental from Bedloft.com.
