Currier House, University dormitory in Cambridge, United States.
Currier House is a residential complex at Harvard College consisting of four towers that house undergraduate students. The buildings feature private rooms and shared common spaces with kitchens and lounges.
The dormitory opened in 1970 and is named after Audrey Bruce Currier, a Radcliffe alumna who died in a 1967 plane crash. The name honors a graduate whose life was tied to the university community.
The residence is named after a Radcliffe graduate and shaped by residents who organize events and manage community life independently. Undergraduates here make decisions about shared spaces and elect their leadership through their own governance.
Each room includes private bathing facilities, and residents have access to central common areas with kitchens and lounges. These shared spaces serve as gathering points throughout the week.
A former resident began building an early software venture from his room and established business connections there with a future co-founder of a major technology company. The relationships formed within these walls eventually shaped major developments in the tech industry.
