''For Currier floor plans, see WSO/plansCampus Life' s [http://wso.williams.edu/plansdean/campus_life/house?id=7 currier.html Currier page].''
=== The Top Three Floors ===
The idiosyncratic layout of Currier's interior gives rise to some strange features. Two very large stairwells of slate steps that provide access from the first to third floor occupy a large volume of the space inside. The stairwells divide Currier into north, center, and south suites, with about six rooms on each of these suites. The north- and south-west corner rooms are quite coveted for their size, light, and views of the quad.
The common areas on the top three floors are the negative space amidst the odd positioning of Currier's rooms. The center halls of the second and third floors have no common space of their own at all; the first has an enormous room that is typically the house gathering space. On the north and south ends of the buildings, common areas take a different shape depending on the floor. The second floor's are quite awkward, and defy description. See the plan [http://wso.williams.edu/plansdean/campus_life/floorplans/floor?id=24 currier_2.jpg here], or just imagine a rectangular room with a big bite taken out of the top.
