A residence hall

There’s a new residence hall for sophomore students on Creighton’s campus. Magis Hall is open!

At first glance, you notice something right away: It’s pristine.

But each inviting feature, each comfort-enhancing amenity and each spacious corner of Magis Hall combines to create a living space that supports every aspect of student life. It’s modern, apartment-style housing blended with a community-centered feel.

Magis Hall is located at 21st and Cuming Streets, next to the School of Dentistry Building and across the street from Davis Square Apartments.

Before the Creighton sophomores started moving in (more than 400 of them arrived in August), we were able to catch a glimpse of the residence hall’s coolest features. Check out the photo gallery!
