Malcolm X House
345 High Street
Malcolm X House is a residence hall that protects and uplifts members of the African diaspora. Following the spirit of its namesake and the Vanguard class of 1969, which helped establish the community, X House invokes a spirit of solidarity, resistance, and liberation through group and community engagement.
In service of this mission, student organizations like the Black Student Union, Muslim Student Union, Mic Check, and the Student of Color Barbeque can be found meeting and organizing in X House. In addition to the lounge space in the basement, Malcolm X House also has a lounge on the first floor and a library on the second floor
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.
