Boruszkowski Hall

Boruszkowski Hall is one of the three residence halls for the six hundred students at the United States Academy of Extranormal Studies (the other two being Cocking Hall and Williams Hall). It is an eleven-story building, with cadet housing on all but the first and seventh floors (which occupy the same purposes as in Swedlund Hall and Gilmore Hall; however, there are no cafeterias on the first floors.

In Boruszkowsik Hall, the cafeteria area is used for a 300-seat theater, where cadets can view films and television broadcasts on a 400-inch plasma-screen television set designed and built by Academy cadets. (With the humor and foresight that young people have, the television even has connections to allow for video games and other devices to be connected.) The theater area is also designated as an emergency shelter in case of emergency (the area in all five residence halls serves the same purpose, as they were designed to withstand direct hits by an F5 tornado, and can be reinforced by Academy staff or cadets who have forcefield-generation abilities).

Boruszkowsik Hall has been designated as the hall where Cadets Sixth through Fourth Years reside; because of this and the difficulty in pronouncing the hall's name (for some), it is also known by USAES cadets as 'The Cradle'. Male cadets are housed on floors 2 through 5, while female students are housed on floors 7 through 11.

Each of the three First Academy residence halls has four 'residence advisers' on staff; these are Elite Academy cadets (two male, two female, and usually Cadets Fourth or Second Year) who live in the building and act as in-house advisers and floor monitors, with the power to level discliplinary actions.
