Originally built as a men's residence hall, Barresi is now co-ed, with males on the first and third floors, and females on the second floor. There are forty double rooms. There is one Resident Director for the building and one Resident Assistant on each floor. Barresi is a freshman hall.

As in all residence halls, there is internet and cable access in every room. Barresi is also home to a state of the art computer lab with two PCs and a printer for any student to use. In the main lounge, you will find a cable television and an iMac. A pool table in the recreation room provides for lots of fun and the size of the building lends itself well to community development.

Each floor has a resident assistant and a full time professional hall director lives on the first floor.
