Lotus House
267 Court Street
Lotus House is Wesleyan’s Buddhist program house. The lotus is one of the most recurrent symbols in Buddhism. The image of the lotus growing from the mud is often a symbol of enlightenment: clarity emerging out of confusion. Lotus House offers a home and community for students interested in the study or practice of Buddhism and/or meditation. We organize weekly meditations, bring guest-speakers to campus, and co-sponsor events with related student groups across campus. No background knowledge of Buddhism or meditation is required to live in Lotus House, only an interest in exploring both.
Lead Paint Disclosure
Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not taken care of properly. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, landlords must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling. Tenants must also receive a Federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention. The pamphlet may be viewed at: The University recognizes that any housing built prior to 1978 may contain lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. By accepting your housing contract, you are affirming that you have reviewed the pamphlet Protect Your Family from Lead In Your Home.
All Wesleyan housing was built before 1978 with the exception of the following: Bennet Hall, Fauver Apartments, 19 Fountain Avenue, 20 Fountain Avenue, 25 Fountain Avenue, 231 Pine Street, and 14 Warren Street.
