Governors - Your First Home

Home to nearly 800 students in double (two-person) rooms, Governors Complex is the smaller of the two dormitory-style housing complexes on UB’s North Campus. It is divided into four identical, interconnected halls (Clinton, Dewey, Lehman and Roosevelt), each with their own activities and events—and each named for a famous New York governor.

Governors offers general and specialty housing, including areas designated for FYI-Engineering, Honors College, Leadership House, and Daniel Acker Scholars.
