The suite life just got a little sweeter.

University Suites, a $54 million residence hall, is one of two new residence halls opened for the fall 2013 semester. Riverview Suites and University Suites are the first residence halls built on campus since 1989. Together, they house nearly 1,000 upperclassmen students. Within the last year, UMass Lowell has opened six new buildings.
