The third through twelfth floors of Quillen have one bedroom. When two single students are sharing, the living room may be converted into a second bedroom. In such cases, students often agree to switch places mid-year. |
| Students who want to bring their own beds may store the University bed at their own expense. No storage is available for unneeded furniture. |
Students provide their own cookware, dishes, utensils, towels, and other kitchen items. |

| Common Areas |
| Lounges and Meeting Rooms |
|
 |
Building lounges have TVs and DVD players for meetings and social events. In addition, high-rise residents may reserve, without charge, the Village Center, which is adjacent to the EV Administration building. The Village Center includes a kitchen, restrooms, tables and chairs, and a piano. Please visit the Escondido Village Housing Front Desk page for details on eligibility and the reservation process. |
| Laundry Rooms |
|
 |
A laundry room in the basement of each high-rise building is equipped with environmentally-friendly washers and dryers. Rent includes Student Housing’s "Just Like Home" laundry program, which gives residents unlimited use of these washers and dryers; no coins or cards required. |
| Storage |
Residents on each floor share a storage closet. Closets are large enough to accommodate a few boxes, but not furniture. Cardinal Mall offers on-campus storage of items up to 50 pounds; larger items must be stored by commercial storage companies. See On-campus storage. |
| Computer Clusters |
Escondido Village has two computer clusters, one in Building 54 and one in Building 116. Computer clusters are equipped with Macintosh and Dell computers, laser printers, and various software applications. |
| Piano Practice Rooms |
|
 |
Each high-rise has a baby grand piano in its lounge. Also, students may reserve one of two baby grand practice pianos located in the Village Center and the Cottage Room. If the room isn’t booked, students also may drop-in at the EV Front Desk and pick up a key. The key is due back by the following morning. |
Volleyball Courts |
| Escondido Village has a sand volleyball court between Buildings 117 and 124 and a paved volleyball court in the Village Center. Courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis. |

| History: Skyscrapers in a Park |
EV’s high-rise apartments were built over a period of time, beginning in 1971, and remodeled in 2003-04. Constructed of reinforced, textured concrete, the buildings contrast with the otherwise horizontal layout of Escondido Village prompting comparisons in press reports with skyscrapers in a park, similar to those in Latin America for which architect LeCorbusier is known.
Quillen honors Issac Quillen, dean of Stanford’s School of Education (SUSE) from 1952 through 1966. Under his leadership, SUSE began its transition from a regional training program to a world-class research institution.
Blackwelder was named for Eliot Blackwelder, whose long and distinguished career included his role as head of Stanford’s geology department from 1922 to 1945. Considered a “gentleman of the old school,” Blackwelder was known for his dignity, generosity, and courteous nature.
