Raven Village is a $15 million, 400-bed housing complex situated on the southern edge of campus.
It was built on the site of a number of 40-year-old student residences.
Its name was chosen during the Residence Life-sponsored contest in October 2005, with over 700 different names submitted for consideration and narrowed down by a panel of faculty, staff, and students. The five students who submitted the winning name each received a $20 gift certificate to the Barnes and Noble University Bookstore. Other potential names included Lone Star Village, San Jacinto Hall, Templeton Hall, and Frank Cloud Hall.
