University Commons opened in 2006.  It is primarily an upperclass coed, corridor style building, housing about 120 students and was designed for upper level/independent living.  University Commons features lunges on each floor with double and single rooms with adjoining shared bathrooms.  General room amenities include self-controlled heating and air conditioning, and a microfridge unit.  

This multi-purpose building is aptly named since it is shared by Faculty Student Association offices, University Bookstore, Convenience Store, Cranston Marché, and Starbucks.
