[[Category:Student Housing 2.0]]Mark Hopkins house , named after [[Mark Hopkins]], is the largest of the four houses in the [[Greylock Quad]], because it has four "vertical entries" (A, B, C, and D) while the others have only three.
''For floor plans, see WSO's [http://wso.williams.edu/plans/floor?id=51 Mark Hopkins page]. For Williams College Buildings and Grounds listing and a photograph, see [http://www.williams.edu/admin-depts/bg/mark_hopkins.html here].''
Virtually all the rooms are singles, and thus they are all either identical to or mirror images of the same design. Corner rooms on the extreme ends of the hall facing the quad (A21, A22, D21, D22, and the same for 31, 32 and 41, 42) are about four feet longer than this identical plan.
In this plan, each room has two plaster walls, one brick wall, and one wall that is just one big window (see below), facing either the quad , [[Route 2]], or [[Route 7]].There is an open closet, i.e. without doors, with a shelf on top. Opposite the closet is a chest of drawers with a mirror above it. There is also a desk and chair, a small bookcase, and a bed. There is one ceiling light in the middle of the room attached to the wall switch, and one light above the bed.
Mark Hopkins is composed of suites, where six students share a common room and a bathroom with one toilet, one shower, and two sinks. Common rooms tend to have two couches and a coffee table with a TV in one corner. The C entry has an additional small room that is not big enough for a couch, but fits a microwave and a refrigerator and perhaps a small chair.
Mark Hopkins House, along with [[Bryant House]], generally has the reputation of being the less partying of the four [[Greylock Quad|Greylock]] dorms. Thus, on average, Mark Hopkins rooms tend to be quieter than other Greylock rooms, especially on the [[Route 7]] side away from the quad.
Mostly sophomores and juniors live in Mark Hopkins. Occasionally seniors who want to live together will pick in also. The sophomores living in Mark Hopkins are often those who were not able to get into [[Mission]] with the rest of their class, and so they got junior housing instead. Not a bad deal, really.
