Note: Millennium North and South are part of a symmetrical five-part composition flanking the entrance axis of the St. Vincent de Paul Chapel that is attached to Regan and Ryan halls.

Setting: Face east toward John McCormack Road, N.E., on their long sides, with foundation planting and lawn surrounding both buildings.

Architecture: The Millennium buildings are mirror image, matching structures in a formal five-part composition with three Colonial Revival 1940s red brick buildings, Regan and Ryan halls, flanking St. Vincent de Paul Chapel. Though their design is strikingly contemporary, the scale, use of brick, gable roofs and general character are sympathetic with the pre-existing buildings. Vertical tan entry elements and horizontal recessed striping give the red brick Millennium buildings distinct identity.

History: Millennium North and South were built in 2001 to serve as upperclass and graduate student housing.

Significance: Millennium North and South are examples of compatible design, blending into a composition begun 50 years earlier, while still of their time, making this five-building residential complex a contributing element of the campus.

Condition: The use of high quality building materials and proper routine maintenance has kept these facilities in excellent condition.
