Hamerschlag House

Hamerschlag House is a first-year residence hall located on The Hill. With two wings connected by a large recreational room, Hamerschlag has double rooms, a few single rooms, laundry facilities, a shared kitchen, and a TV room. Schlagmare, a long-standing tradition, is Hamerschlag's largest program, which takes place during the week of Halloween when the residents of Hamerschlag transform the hall into an amazing haunted house that is open to the entire CMU community.

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