In the early 1900s, Springfield, Mass. was like any other major city in America at the time, booming with industries and factories. The Living Center, known to students as the “LC,” was once one of those buildings. After Springfield College purchased the building in the early 1990s, it was used as a classroom building as well as a residence hall. When the building opened in 1991, it served as the second building on campus to house apartments. The Living Center houses 200 residents with 43 apartments consisting of three, five, and six people each. The LC is conveniently located next to two main academic halls—Blake and Locklin.

Each apartment has a kitchenette and common room with private bathrooms. Each apartment is air-conditioned. There is also a lounge on the first floor with a sitting area, a TV, and a foosball table.
