Housing
CWC’s Housing and Residential Life Programs (HRLP) exist to extend and amplify the educational impact of the college through living environments and residential communities that foster learning and student development in the broadest sense. In our facilities and programs, CWC provides spaces and opportunities that invite exploration, cultivate student potential, and equip residents for productive, satisfying, and well-rounded lives.
On-campus housing facilities consist of dormitories and apartments, which are under the direction of the Director of Residential and Student Life. CWC places a high priority on safety. In the evenings and on weekends, Campus Safety Officers and Resident Assistants remain on duty, providing coverage of each building. All Housing facilities also include fire-suppression sprinkler systems.
Mote Hall
Mote Hall, the newest student residential complex, is a fully ADA-accessible, suite-style, 48-bed co-ed dormitory that is divided into four areas. Each area houses 12 students and offers substantial privacy, as there is one student per bedroom. Every three residents share a full-bathroom, but each bedroom has its own sink. A furnished central day room provides a place for students in each area to watch television, talk, relax and study.
For the safety and convenience of residents, Mote Hall is equipped with keyless entry to the building, laundry facilities, and a computer lab. Each bedroom is furnished with a bed, desk, chair and dresser. In-room access to the Local Area Network (Wi-Fi) is available to students. Internet and all utilities are included in the cost of rent.
Additionally, Mote Hall offers a large commons area, which serves as a hub for housing activities and a place for residents to relax and watch television or play Ping Pong, Foosball, or Pool.
As there are no kitchen facilities in Mote Hall, residents are required to participate in the declining balance Meal Plan A or Meal Plan B, which gives students the flexibility to budget their semester food purchases in the Food Court.
Resident Assistants (RAs) assist the Director of Residential and Student Life in matters of administration, discipline, personal help, activities, and supervision in the complex.

A furnished central lounge provides a place for students in each area to watch television, talk, relax and study. Laundry facilities are available within the complex. Each bedroom is furnished with two beds, an end table, and two built-in closets/dressers/desks. Each room also offers access (Wi-Fi) to the Local Area Network.

Alpine Science Institute (Lander)
Housing at the Alpine Science Institute (ASI) is open for students in the Outdoor Education, Outdoor Recreation and Tourism, Expedition Science, Geospatial Science (GIST) and Regenerative Food Systems programs. Students in other programs may stay at ASI as space permits, and on case-by-case basis. Located near Lander, a Lodge and cabins provide a place for students to “live where they learn,” on a 127-acre campus at the base of the Wind River Mountains. ASI boasts over 8 miles of professional mount bike, hiking and ski trails, a full scale regenerative 1-acre farm, a historic apple orchard, large fire pit, disc golf course, and acres of recreational space.
The ASI offers a unique housing experience. The Lodge, designed with a keyless entry system on all doors, offers a 24-bed residence hall. Each of the 12 rooms includes two beds, two desks, a wardrobe style closet, mini-fridge and dresser. The Lodge commons has lounge furniture, a large screen tv, fireplace, and microwave. There are also 6 stand-alone cabins subject to availability. Each cabin has two beds, two desks and chairs, a closet railing (not enclosed), mini-fridge and a front porch with seating.
All ASI residents share a shower-house, which has bathrooms and showers as well as a free laundry facility. Meal plans are not currently available at ASI. Instead, meals are a hands-on experience, with students cooking their meals in the spacious kitchen located in Fremont Hall, fully stocked with all necessary cookware and utensils. Fremont Hall also offers an additional commons space with a large screen tv, fireplace, comfortable couches, a pool table, and ample space to unwind and socialize.
When applying for ASI housing, please follow the instructions below, but specify your building preference as one of the ASI options. Cabins are typically reserved for 2nd year students and based on availability.
Resident Assistant(s) assist the Lander Outreach Director in matters of administration, discipline, personal help, activities, and supervision at ASI. Please contact the Lander Outreach Director at 307-855-2330 for more information.
