Winifred Parker Hall offers suite and semi-suite style living designed with student input to support both comfort and academic success. Each unit includes two bedrooms, a shared bathroom with dual sinks, and storage space, with suites also featuring a furnished living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light, and the hall includes quiet study areas, group workspaces, and the Executive-in-Residence lounge for student-alumni mentorship. Home to part of the John Martinson Honors College Residential Community, Parker Hall blends modern living with meaningful academic engagement—all just steps away from Starbucks and Third Street Market on the ground floor.
Winifred Parker Hall is home to the Executive-in-Residence lounge on its ground floor, where students can meet one-on-one with successful alumni who come back to campus for the purpose of connecting with and mentoring current Boilermakers. The program began in 2014 and continues to grow in popularity.
During the early stages of the American civil rights movement and well before the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, sisters Winifred and Frieda Parker were leading the effort to integrate student housing on Purdue’s campus and across Indiana. On October 3, 2021, the Parker sisters were honored for their courageous leadership with the dedication of two residence halls in their name on the Purdue University campus.
