The North Quadrangle Residential and Academic Complex provides a focal point for international and intercultural programming. This unique combination of living and learning environments offers a highly innovative experience that connects upperlevel undergraduate students to their community and the world. North Quad is home to International Impact, a theme community focused on today's multicultural world; the Veterans Living Experience; and two academic learning communities, the Global Scholars Program and the Max Kade German Program. In addition to residential spaces and classrooms, North Quad also includes offices for the School of Information, Communication Studies, Screen Arts and Cultures, the Language Resource Center and the Sweetland Writing Center. North Quad is Michigan’s first new residence hall since Bursley Hall was opened on North Campus in 1967.
