Community Spaces
The Spaces Where Leaders Flourish
At LEAD LLC, we believe that community is essential. In both Allen and Dawson, we have extensive spaces which provide the opportunity for both studying and fellowship. Our student leaders often use these locations for programs, making these opportunities easy to engage with. Communal spaces are open 24-hours to students of Allen and Dawson Halls. Learn more about each one of these spaces below:
The Commons
This newly added 2-floored connector will bridge the gap between the male (Allen) and female (Dawson) halls that comprise our living-learning community. This new space will include activities of various kinds, a community TV and kitchen, study rooms, couches, and more!
Allen Lobby
Allen Residence Hall, the male building of LEAD LLC, stretches across 8th Street with the front (lobby) door facing Speight Avenue. This newly renovated community room will house tables and chairs for studying, community-building furniture, a TV, and various activities/games for the residents of the hall!
Dawson Lobby
Dawson Residence Hall, the female building of LEAD LLC, continues on 8th Street with the front (lobby) door facing Baylor Avenue. This lobby will house tables and chairs for studying, community-building furniture, a TV, and various activities/games for the residents of the hall!
Dawson Seminar Room
This Seminar Room serves as a conference space for various LEAD constituents such as Professional Staff meetings, student-led committee meetings, and more!
The LRX
The Learning Resource Express (LRX) is the School of Education's extension of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) in the Mars McLean Science building! This room will hold tables and chairs for studying; a 3D printing machine; paper cutting machines; laminating machines and their needed supplies; and various textbooks and leisure readings on education, leadership, faith, self-discovery, navigating the college experience, and more.

Dawson Classroom
Students that live in LEAD LLC during their first year of college take either the Intro to Leadership (LDS 1301) or Intro to Education (TED 1312) course. Many of these classes are held in the Dawson Classroom which acts as the perfect bridge between "living" and "learning." Here, students will engage in course content in their very own hall!

Study Coves
Throughout Allen and Dawson Halls are study coves where students can engage in academic activities. These will be scattered throughout each floor of both buildings.
