Crabtree Hall

Welcome to Crabtree Hall

Crabtree is located on the east side of campus and houses approximately 250 students. Nearby, you'll find parking lot O, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts and an expansive lawn. Crabtree is also close to the South Fork of the Kinnickinnic River as well as campus trails. The hall is named after former UWRF President James W. Crabtree. First year students (those in their first two semesters post-high school, whether or not they've already taken college courses) are eligible to live in Crabtree hall. 

Crabtree hall is a coed building by wing. There are wings of about 30 women who share a community bathroom designated for women and separate wings of about 30 men who share a community bathroom designated for men.
