[[Image:clusterMap.jpg|right|thumbnail|Map of the four clusters.]]
Before the start of "Neighborhood" housing in [[Fall 2006]], Williams upperclass housing was a "[[Free agency|free agent]]" system. Students formed groups of up to four and were assigned lottery numbers within their class. Individuals then chose rooms on campus in order of lottery number, from lowest to highest.
Anchor housing restricts the room draw to a small cluster of dorms. Houses on campus will be divided into four clusters, each containing approximately six houses and one "anchor" house chosen to serve as the social hub of the cluster. Rising sophomores will form groups of six, and each group will be randomly assigned to a cluster. Upperclassmen will choose rooms in a lottery exclusive to their own cluster. Students remain in the same cluster throughout their time at Williams.
* '''[[Wood cluster|Wood]]''': [[Perry]], [[Garfield]], [[Agard]], [[Gladden]], [[Carter]]
The houses [[ChadbourneHouse]], [[DoughtyHouse]], [[LambertHouse]], [[MilhamHouse]], [[Poker Flats]], [[Rectory]], [[Susie HopkinsHouse]], and [[WoodbridgeHouse]] will remain (or become) [[co-op|co-ops]].
[[Dodd Annex]] will become Economics faculty offices.
[[Faculty Associates and Affiliates]]
One of the assets of the anchor housing system is increasing opportunities for student-faculty interaction. Though the neighborhoods will be largely student-run, they will also receive some assistance from a small number of faculty associates in conjunction with the Office of Campus Life. In addition, every faculty member on campus will be affiliated with one of the four residential neighborhoods, and have the opportunity to participate in some neighborhood activities.
