CALTECH STUDENT HISTORY NOTES


BECHTEL RESIDENCE

Adapted from the Caltech website

The Bechtel Residence started construction in late 2016, and began housing undergraduates in Fall 2018. It is by far the largest housing option on campus, at over 200 beds. However, it is not a House, lacking the self-determining political systems, defined membership, and collection of dues like those of the existing 8 houses. Bechtel additionally has apartments for various live-in staff and faculty, specifically a professional staff member called a residential life coordinator, six graduate students employed as Residential Associates (RAs), and two faculty-in-residence.[
