Helen Hadley Hall
Built in 1958, Helen Hadley Hall (HHH), 420 Temple Street, is within easy walking distance of the Graduate School, libraries, science buildings, Law School, School of Music and the School of Management. Hadley is on the shuttle bus route, providing convenient access to all points on campus. The backyard patio is nicely landscaped and has picnic tables and a grill for warm weather get-togethers.
Of the 175 rooms, most are medium size with a few extra-large rooms making up the balance. Rooms have standard university provided bedroom furniture: extra-long twin-sized bed frame & mattress, desk, desk chair, and bookshelf. Rooms at HHH also have a built in closet and vanity mirror, lighting, and dresser drawers. There is one window per room, dressed with vertical blinds. To view a sample floor plan, please click here.
Each of the five (5) resident floors is accessed by two elevators and two stairways. HHH residence floors are co-ed with approximately 18 men and 18 women assigned to each floor. The 3rd floor of HHH is gender specific, meaning men are assigned into adjacent rooms closest to the men’s bathroom; women are assigned into adjacent rooms closest to the women’s bathroom.
In addition, HHH rooms are provided with an internet port, cable television port, and telephone port. Students must activate the telephone port (via Yale University Telecom services) to use the land-line telephone system. There is a separate charge for use of the telephone (and long-distance charges) but no additional charges for accessing the internet or cable tv. Students accessing the Yale network must register their computers at www.yale.edu/netreg, for full use of the internet. All of HHH is on the University’s wireless network for student convenience!

The ground floor also hosts a University sponsored computer room available 24 hours a day, limited in-door bicycle storage, and residents' mailboxes.
