The Carlos and Malú Alvarez Hall is one of UTSA’s more traditional residence halls and offers a unique balance of privacy and social interaction.
Housing just over 600 students in single bedrooms across four floors, Alvarez Hall features suite-style rooms with two private, fully-furnished rooms connected by a shared bathroom. Each room includes an extra-long twin bed, desk, dresser, closet and a private sink.
The hall features an open lobby, administrative offices, meeting spaces and live-in professional staff.
With spaces designed to facilitate group interaction and collaborative learning, residents have access to study lounges, multipurpose rooms, laundry facilities and a community kitchen.
Alvarez Hall is the home of many special interest housing groups, where students who share academic or personal interests live on the same floor.
