Lopata House

The Lucy and Stanley Lopata House was dedicated on October 20, 2001. Lopata House provides small group housing for WashU sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

The building contains kitchens, lounges, classrooms, a computer lab, a prayer room, and a multipurpose room. The Lopata Great Hall, a formal room used for dinners and other social events, is also housed in Lopata Hall.

Stanley Lopata graduated from WashU College of Arts & Sciences in 1935. Mr. and Mrs. Lopata, founders of Carboline Corporation, grew the basement chemical laboratory into a $46 million business. Together, they were longtime friends of the university, and especially the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Other memorials to them on campus are the Lopata Courtyard in Simon Hall, the Lopata Classic, a men’s basketball tournament held every fall, and Lopata Plaza. 

Lopata House is made up of modern four-person single suites, with each suite having two shared bathrooms. Each student will have a: XL twin bed frame and accompanying mattress; a three drawer dresser; and a computer desk and chair. A shower curtain is provided for the bathroom and the suite is carpeted.

There are kitchen and laundry facilities available.  There are study spaces available, a main computer lab and a multipurpose room. Students will be responsible for providing their personal items and toiletries.
