Western Colorado University has room-dimension data for 5 residence halls. Published room sizes range from about 225 to 255 sq ft, with a median of 255 sq ft. Find exact width × length and square footage for each hall below, then preview your layout in the visualizer.

Bed size: Western states the split itself: the Escalante Complex, the Mears Complex and Ute Hall are extra-long twin at 80 in, and Pinnacles and Chipeta are full size. No width is published for either. Western’s move-in page pointedly declines to name a size and just says to make sure you get the right one for your bed.
