NAMED FOR ONE OF ITS RESIDENTS, the main building on the new Ross campus offers single occupancy suites as well as a few doubles to accommodate individual preference. Most of those who reside in John Peterson Hall are able to schedule their own activities, attend to their personal needs, and get along well in the larger community.
Some are able to prepare their own meals with minimal supervision, entertaining friends in their rooms. These individual suites have afforded residents an unprecedented degree of independence in a safe setting.
