Robbins Apartments, opened in 1966 as on-campus, furnished one- and two-bedroom units with a kitchen and bathroom. The apartments are more independent from the school than traditional residence halls, both in attitude and its somewhat removed location from the rest of the campus. Annual events include the Robbins Thanksgiving Dinner, a winter retreat, the Queen Anne Collect-a-Can food drive, and an annual broom-ball game. The hall is named for Board of Trustees member and chair, Marion B. Robbins, who served 1946-1960. This article is about the structure. ...

Other Apartment Complexes, including Bailey, Cremona, Dravus, Falcon, and other buildings known by address rather than name are owned and maintained by SPU. These complexes differ from Robbins mainly in social structure due to the lack of internal hallways in most complexes. These apartments are closer to campus but provide a more independent-living situation. These apartments provide a great aggregate living environment among students, but are unfortunately in disrepair. On a clarifying note, the Wesley Apartments at Cremona and Dravus are not owned or maintained by SPU but still have many features in common with SPU owned apartments including peer advisors, SPU security response, and campus communication (campus extensions and internet).

The programs’ new 37-Five project enables students engaged in the ministries to give through the University to non-profit organizations they are passionate about. For other uses of the term Christian, see Christian (disambiguation). ...
