About Housing

Clayton State University recognized the need to provide safe and affordable housing for students in the mid-2000s. In 2007, the Board of Regents approved the University to build its first residence hall to open for the Fall 2008 semester.

Laker Hall houses approximately 400 new, first-time, full-time freshmen. This state-of-the-art building features four bedroom/two bath suites with kitchenettes. In addition, residents have on-site access to study lounges, wireless high-speed internet, cable television, laundry facilities, and a game room.

In 2011, the University purchased Clayton Station Apartments, situated just adjacent to the Clayton State campus, which offer 2- and 4-bedroom suite-style units with private baths, full kitchen, living room, and washer and dryer. In 2016, students and faculty voted to change the name of the apartments to Laker Village.
