Notes:
The Living Center at Springfield College serves as apartment style housing for students. Originally known as the Logan Street building or the Standard Electric Time Building, it was purchased by Springfield College in 1990 and opened later that same year. The building was split into two distinct sections: the Living Center and an academic section, with classrooms and offices, later referred to as Herbert P. Blake Hall. The entire building measured 120,000 square feet. The Kakley Graduate Annex, so named in 2007, was originally constructed in 1991 to be used for graduate housing. The Living Center has a capacity of 224 residents, made up of four floors with 47 total apartments. Each apartment houses 3 to 6 people. There is a lounge located on the first floor, a laundry room, and a courtyard in the back of the building to allow for socializing and events to take place. The Kakley Annex holds 24 graduate students. The students have individual rooms; but share a kitchen/dining area, living room, and 2 bathrooms.
