<p>Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman announced the future of campus housing Wednesday night at a coffee talk in Sanborn Library, including plans to consolidate freshmen into only five clusters rather than the current eight clusters.</p>

<p>The First-Year Experience, the restructuring of freshmen housing, will eventually lead to the clustering of sophomores, juniors and seniors as well, as Redman predicts. First-year students will no longer live in the Gold Coast or in the Fayerweather clusters.</p>

<p>Freshmen will, however, occupy most of the 500 beds in the new McLaughlin residential cluster and Tuck Mall residence kall.</p>

<p>In the McLaughlin Cluster, 70 percent of rooms will be two-room doubles. Four and five-person suites will be at the end of floors with private bathrooms, which are intended to cater to upperclassmen, Redman said. Amenities including a kitchen on every floor and larger lounge areas for activities such as dance parties will also be available. </p>
