Gender Inclusive Housing
Since single-gender housing may not be appropriate or comfortable for all students, gender-inclusive rooms are available in UAlbany’s residence halls and apartments.
Students who sign up for Gender-Inclusive Housing can select roommates and suitemates from across the gender spectrum.
Transgender students may also choose to live in single-gender housing that aligns with their gender identity, regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth.

Harvey House
Harvey House is an intentionally intersectional residential community designed to celebrate and affirm the cultural experiences of LGBTQ+ students and their allies.
Cultural, educational and social programming helps Harvey House residents develop a strong sense of belonging and empowers them to better understand and advocate for equity, inclusion and social justice at UAlbany and beyond.
Harvey House provides current students with the opportunity to live with other members of the LGBTQ+ community, including allies. Harvey House is located inside Ten Broeck Hall on Dutch Quad, which is a recess housing building.
Harvey House is named after gay rights activist Harvey Milk, who graduated from UAlbany in 1951. Milk was the first openly gay elected official in the United States when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. He was shot and killed in 1978 and honored posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2009.
