Lien House

This modern dorm is the closest freshman dorm to main campus and is part of the Brookings Residential College that was founded in 1999. The dorm is situated between the Clocktower and the Underpass and sits atop of Ursa’s. Additionally, the building is named after Arnold Johnson Lien, a professor who came to Washington University in the mid-1920s. Brookings Residential College traditions include Scorch on the Porch, an event held on the porch between Lien and Gregg, and Brinner, a twice-yearly “Breakfast for Dinner” event.
