Winifred Parker Hall

Welcome to Winifred Parker Hall! Construction of this 360-bed residence hall began in 2012 and included input from students, staff, faculty and administrators to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s students. This hall houses the Honors Residential Community, in addition to the Honors College and Residences.

Suite and Semi-Suite Rooms

Residents of this hall live in four-person suite and semi-suite rooms or six-person suite rooms.  Each unit provides the residents with two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, dual sinks, small storage lockers and a storage closet. Those in suites will also have a living room furnished with a sofa, chairs, side tables and a small dinette set. Windows in the building stretch from floor to ceiling providing residents with an abundance of natural lighting. Parker Hall provides students with a variety of spaces in which to study quietly or with a group, it can all happen in this vibrant atmosphere. 

Executive-In-Residence Lounge

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. 

Starbucks & Third Street Market

You'll also find Starbucks and Third Street Market located on the first floor of Winifred Parker Hall. Whether you need a coffee to get going in the morning or need to pick up a snack for a busy day of classes, you'll love having these two spots conveniently situated right downstairs. 

An American Legacy with Boilermaker Roots

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 Sunday (Oct. 3), the Parker sisters were honored for their courageous leadership with the dedication of two residence halls in their name on the Purdue University campus.
