Deyo Hall is a residence hall within the Hasbrouck complex. The Hasbrouck complex is designed into suite-style living. Each suite has two to four student rooms, a bathroom, and a common lounge area. Living in a suite offers students the enjoyment and privacy of their own "living room" to personalize, as they do with their bedrooms, adding posters, plants, rugs and personal furniture. Here, the residents are responsible for maintaining and cleaning their living room and bathroom. Located in the basement of Deyo Hall are a computer lab, laundry room with washers and dryers free of charge, a T.V. lounge with cooking facilities, and a recycling/trash room. Also located in the basement is OASIS, a student run crisis center, and HAVEN, a rape crisis center which are affiliated with the campus Psychological Counseling Center. Both organizations are paid for and operated by the New Paltz Student Association. Vending machines, a microwave oven, public restrooms and a large study lounge are on the first floor of Deyo Hall.
Deyo Hall is in close proximity to the outdoor basketball court, Health Center, Hasbrouck Dining Hall and Computer Lab. As a ten month hall, Deyo is open during scheduled Winter and Spring breaks to permit students needing housing an opportunity to remain on campus when other halls are closed. You must live in a 10 month hall to stay over these breaks.

[edit] Hall Government
Deyo Hall Government us in a state of flux. The government's creation was postponed time after time due to many disagreements and lack of interest by the residents. In the vaccuum, Max Birkett stepped up to demand a government be formed. Working with anyone who was interested, residents of Deyo Hall created its own government in mid-October. Despite the late start, they made great headway into building a community, by purchasing a community fishtank with fish, and working on aquiring a ping pong table.
