Rubloff Hall

What would you say is the most coveted accolade for eco-friendly buildings? Right here, before you, stands Rubloff Hall. It boasts a prestigious LEED Gold certification. This isn’t just any residence hall. Rubloff Hall, opened in 2006, marks a pivotal moment in Saint Xavier University’s commitment to sustainability. The building showcases a range of eco-conscious features. These include a green roof, energy-efficient suites, and even toilets with two flush modes. Rubloff Hall accommodates 90 residents in its 24 apartment-style suites. Each suite comes complete with semi-private bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchenettes, and furnished living areas. For those who prefer biking, many rooms even feature in-closet bicycle racks. But there’s more to Rubloff Hall than its green credentials and modern amenities. It’s also linked to McCarthy Hall on the second floor via a unique space known as “The Link”. This space serves as a quiet study and reading area for residents of both halls. Students not residing in these halls can access “The Link” by simply signing in at Rubloff Hall’s front desk. This interconnectedness fosters a sense of community. It also promotes academic focus among the student residents. Rubloff Hall stands as a testament to how sustainable design can blend seamlessly with student life.
