Williams Village

General

Williams Village, known by students as "Will Vill," "Chill Vill","Trill Vill", or "The Projects" consists of five towers: Darley North, Darley South, Stearns East, Stearns West, and Williams Village North. These towers house approximately 1,400 residents. In order to be a resident of Will Vill one has to be a student at the University of Colorado or a resident hall staff member. A portion of Stearns East tower is substance-free as part of the CORE program; the use of alcohol, illegal drugs, and tobacco in this dorm are all prohibited, as well as coming back to this dorm under the influence of any of these drugs.

Amenities

Just south of the towers is Darley Commons. Darley Commons is the dining hall as well as a social and administrative center of Williams Village. Williams Village has numerous amenities such as the tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, soccer fields, and the Bear Creek Recreational Center. Along with these recreational luxuries, Will Village also has a convenience store located inside Darley Commons called the Village Market.

Location

Williams Village is located about 5 minutes off campus at the intersection of Baseline Road and 30th Street. Nearby are the Bear Creek apartments and the Recreational Center Annex. Across the street from Williams Village, on the other side of 30th Street, is a Dairy Queen, The Broker Inn and Restaurant, Cosmo's Pizza, McDonald's Restaurant, Williams Village Liquors, a Conoco Gas Station, and a Sprouts Grocery Store.

Transportation

Because the resident hall is located off campus, a bus transports the resident's of Williams Village to and from campus for free. These Buff Buses are scheduled to come about every fifteen minutes. Depending on where a student's class is located, he or she may choose to take either the Regent Loop or the Colorado Loop.

History

The Stearns and Darley Towers of Williams Village were built in 1966 and 1969.
