Hamerschlag House

Hamerschlag House, affectionately known as “Schlag,” is a traditional, first-year residence hall offering both double and single occupancy rooms in addition to a study room, a shared kitchen, laundry facilities, an elevated patio known as the “Schroof,” and a large community lounge with amenities like vending machines, work spaces, air conditioning, ping-pong, and a tv. Residents of Schlag enjoy a variety of traditions including ping-pong tournaments, Jamerschlag (an open mic night), and Schlagmare (the transformation of the house into a haunted house open to the entire CMU community during the week of Halloween).

Floor plans are representative. Room measurements are estimates. Actual sizes and individual furniture configurations will vary.
