On-Campus Housing

The A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education

The Taubman Center offers accommodations for two to three people per room. Rooms are furnished with beds, storage units, wardrobe, a couch, coffee table and a bedside table. Each room is approximately 500 square feet and has its own private bath, a large closet and upper storage area. Rooms are also wired for basic cable, room to room phone service and have wireless Internet access.

The Taubman Center is built on the philosophy of community, so just outside the student’s living quarters are work spaces, fitness rooms and lounge areas for students to interact. Each floor also houses a laundry room. Continuing with the theme of community, a full-service dining area is just a few floors below. Students living in the Taubman Center are required to have a meal plan.

Housing Staff

The College has a dedicated and energetic staff ready to assist you during your stay in CCS student housing. The staff consists of 10 resident assistants in the Art Centre Building and 8 resident assistants in the Taubman Center. The resident assistants are upper-class students that assist residents and plan programs and activities. In addition to the resident assistants, there are professional staff members who live in our campus housing.

Security in Housing

The security of the residents is of utmost concern. Both the Art Centre Building and the Taubman Center have a 24-hour front desk staffed by security personnel to assist students. The building is locked from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day. Residents use their student ID to get into the building and to access the elevator or stairwell. Shuttle service is also provided between the Cultural and New Center locations.

Students with Disabilities

All efforts are made to assist CCS students with disabilities. Assistance in educational matters is provided through the Student Success Center. Other types of assistance for students with physical disabilities are provided through the Office of Student Life. Students with a physical and/or learning disability must provide the College with documentation of their disability before any assistance can be provided.
