Two of the floors are alcohol-free, giving students an opportunity to live with others who have made a similar commitment.

The second floor has a computer lab for Edens and Higginson residents. The main lounge has a large screen TV and fireplace. There is also a game room with pool and foosball tables and a computer lab.
