No, University of Idaho has leased the entire property which was formally known as the FairBridge Inn. All existing buildings are being converted into the North Campus Communities, an official residence hall and part of University of Idaho campus. As this property is no longer a hotel, the NCC will ONLY house university students and staff.
The university is experiencing an increasing number of returning and transfer students wishing to live in our residence halls. It is our goal to create a fun and inclusive residential experience for all who apply. The NCC will allow us to continue to provide residential housing for as many students as possible.
This is an exciting opportunity for returning and transfer students to live in a residence hall while retaining a level of independence. The NCC is amongst our most affordable residence hall options while providing all the benefits of residence life and includes some additional amenities.

This includes having Resident Assistant living at the NCC and an Area Coordinator/Resident Director offering supervision and support to our students.
