Bathrooms
Welcome to the Botetourt (pronounced Bot-eh-tot) Complex! The Complex is comprised of five residence halls: Dinwiddie, Fauquier, Gooch, Nicholson and Spotswood. Botetourt is situated next to the Matoaka Woods Nature Center, the Dining Commons (the "Caf"), New Campus and the Student Recreation Center. Due to the small size, the communities grow very close. Upper-level Resident Assistants reside in each hall with about 20 residents per staff member. Each building has a similar layout with a variety of double and triple rooms. Communal kitchens, which include a washer and dryer, and one or two large air conditioned lounges are located on the first floor with a laundry room on the second floor. Community Council, the Complex's governing body, determines the purpose of each lounge consistent with the philosophy of self-determination. Residents are often found in the social lounges watching television, playing games, or just hanging out. The Complex's duty office is located on the upper lounge in Fauquier Hall.
The Botetourt Complex opened in 1972 and was originally intended for the sororities. The five halls were named after former Virginia Governors.

Nurturing both responsible citizenship and energetic involvement in the community is part of the University's mission. In the spirit of our mission and traditions, students who participate will live in Sharpe program residence, enroll in program-sponsored seminars, take part in public forums and work together on community projects--all as a way of encouraging freshmen to explore issues in our national life and become directly involved in these issues through public service.
