Jones Residential College is Northwestern University's fine and performing arts residential college located on the southern edge of campus, in close walking distance of downtown Evanston, the Norris University Center, the Library, the Theatre and Interpretation Center, and the Music Administration Building. Jones is also directly across the street from Lake Michigan. Jones often plans trips that take groups into Chicago to experience the immense resources that downtown has to offer, including shows and other performances, museums, restaurants, parks, and much more. As well as looking to Chicago for artistic events, Jones always takes any opportunity to draw from the wide resources within its own campus by bringing in professors, student groups, and shows from within Northwestern’s community to hold discussions and workshops.

[edit] History
Jones was opened to students in the fall of 1982 as part of the residential college system. The building cost almost $2.5 million to develop, most of the funds came from Wayne V. and Elizabeth R. Jones, who the building was then dedicated to. The Joneses were both alumni of Northwestern from the graduating class of 1923, and were essential to bringing in support from alumni located in Texas. The facilities of Jones include: a space for photo development, art studios, music and theatrical rehearsal rooms, a dance studio, and a performance space.
Jones is part of the Residential College System on Northwestern University's campus, and is one of eleven themed college communities. Residents participate in many Residential College events such as the Residential College Board (RCB) Field Day, the RCB Fall Formal, the RCB Homecoming Parade, and the RCB Leadership Conference.
