Frank & Anne Oropeza Hall

Frank & Anne Oropeza Hall houses athletes on a specific housing scholarship chosen by the Indiana Tech coaching staff on the top two floors and a newly forming community called “Well @ Tech” on the lower two floors. Coaches from each sport may designate one or two student-athletes to receive the scholarship depending on availability at the time. If the athletic department does not allocate all of the rooms, available rooms may be used to accommodate non-scholarship students by request or if need requires. Well @ Tech is for students who are health-conscious with interests towards personal fitness, healthy living habits/choices, daily organization and time management, and general wellness in all aspects of their lives. The community will support and develop an environment for wellness by inviting faculty, staff, and even local “gurus” to share their expertise, and actively engage in working together to be healthy students. Sound like you? If so, just indicate your interest on your housing application. Assignments to Oropeza Hall are double occupancy rooms and require a full meal plan for first-year students.

Frank & Anne Oropeza Hall features apartment-style accommodations for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The facility accommodates 62 students in 16 apartments (four students per apartment) and is staffed by two resident assistants.
