Formerly known as Wydown West, the Helen Ette Park House was dedicated as Helen Ette Park House in May of 1991. Helen Ette Park was an extremely loyal and generous supporter of WashU for many years.
Helen Ette Park also flew a Tiger Moth airplane during the 1930s, something unusual for a woman at the time. Later in life, she established the Helen Ette Park Challenge Fund to encourage WashU alums and friends to develop life income arrangements. Park was also the 1988 recipient of the university’s Alliance Appreciation Award.
Park House consists of modern six-person suites with each having its own bathroom. Each student will have a: XL twin bed frame and accompanying mattress; a three drawer dresser; and a computer desk and chair. The suite is carpeted and a shower curtain is provided.
Park house provides a kitchen and laundry on each floor. There are available study spaces, music practice rooms, laundry facilities, and a main computer lab. Students will be responsible for providing their personal items and toiletries.
