      Summary:

      Opened in 2017, the award-winning PPR Apartments is a suite-style residential community that forms a courtyard with the Palmer, Pittenger, and Roberts Hall communities near the College’s South entrance.

      The apartments are comprised of three separate cube-shaped structures that are interconnected on all floors and served by a central elevator. The apartments have a premier view of the baseball and softball fields and the upper campus, and are also nestled near downtown Swarthmore for easy access to local eateries and shops.

      The majority of the apartments house 5-6 junior or seniors students and, to best meet the needs of upperclass students, each suite includes a common living room and kitchen space, bathroom and shower rooms, and individual single rooms. Larger units that house 9-11 students provide a loft-style experience with two stories and beautiful views of the Swarthmore community.
