Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls (PAR)

Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls (Babcock, Carr, Blaisdell and Saunders) are diverse, close-knit communities that offer in-hall dining and the Intersections and Global Crossroads Living-Learning Communities. PAR is across the street from Illini Grove, one of the most peaceful nature spots on campus, and it’s a short walk from the basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, soccer fields, the Arboretum and the charming neighborhoods of Urbana.

During the academic year when students are present, the front desk will be open from 6 a.m. – 3 a.m. When the front desk is not staffed, students can still call the front desk number. The call will be answered by a calling service able to help with general questions and emergencies and assist students who may have lost their i-card and be locked out of their building and room.

When break housing is being provided, the front desk will be open from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. Calls will be forwarded to the RAs on duty when the desk is closed.
