About
Ackley/Shilling residents work hard but also know how to chill and hang out. Residents are excited to engage on campus and with their neighbors. Staff strive to build inclusive communities that showcase their Bronco spirit. There is a large parking lot located near the building.
Students living in Valley 1 will hear construction noise during the year as Valley 3 is demolished and construction begins on the new building. We want residents to be aware of the potential disruption.
