Lawson Hall Conference Floor
​
The rooms available are traditional residence hall rooms that include a bed, desk w/ chair, dresser, and mini refrigerator. The room is equipped with an ethernet port and cable television connection. Televisions are provided in some rooms. Bedding and towels are provided.
Restrooms on the floor are considered semi private. The restrooms are accessed off of the main hallways. Each hallway (men’s corridor and women’s corridor) has 4 restroom pods. The pods each consist of a stool, shower, and sink.
Guest security is a priority. Besides the key for their room, guests receive a key that must be used to access the conference floor as well as for the men’s or women’s corridor. The key for the conference floor must be used to enter the building after hours. The Lawson Hall staff completes safety and security rounds several times each night.
Reservations or tours can be scheduled by contacting the Conference Services Office at 217-581-7482 or by e-mailing Matt Boyer at mboyer@eiu.edu by October 15 at the latest. All rooms are $25 per night. Payment is due at check-in. Guests can pay by cash or check (cash preferred).
