Hoskins Midrise

 dormitory, apartment building

102 Hoskins Court
Stanford, CA 94305

This eight-story building named after Stanford professor, Leander Hoskins (1860-1937), Stanford emeritus professor of applied mathematics. After earning advanced degrees in science and civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Hoskins taught at Stanford from 1892 through 1925.

His pioneering study on the flow of water in large pipes served as a point of departure from other studies, and his work on earthquake oscillations continued up until the time of his death.

Hoskins Midrise has 63 one-bedroom apartments for couples or two single students, and each apartment has a sliding glass door that opens onto a balcony. Lobbies, lounges, and other common spaces provide areas for social activities.

The mid-rises were remodeled between 1997 and 2002.
