The Modern Theatre Residence Hall

When you live in the Modern Theatre residence hall, you will be staying in one of the crown jewels of Boston’s historic Theatre District. The Modern opened in 1914 as the first venue specifically designed to show motion pictures in Boston. In 2010, Suffolk completed a full renovation of the valuable landmark, which included residence hall space for students.

Here, you will be at the center of Downtown Crossing’s energetic street life and shopping centers.

The Modern features exercise rooms and on-site laundry facilities, and has earned a LEED Silver rating from the U.S. Green Building Council for its sustainable design, construction, and operation.
