Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls (Babcock, Blaisdell, Carr, and Saunders) are located on the southeast side of campus next to the Florida Avenue Residence Halls. All four PAR halls are organized into a co-ed layered living pattern and share a library, computer center, game room, lounges, and two dining rooms plus a private dining room for special events. The Illini Grove picnic area is across the street from PAR, and central lounges are air-conditioned. Please note that the PAR dining hall will be closed for renovations during the 2007-2008 school year. However, an A La Carte dining location, Penn Station, will be open on the first floor.

PAR is home to the Intersections and Global Crossroads Living-Learning Communities.
