The second floor of Unit 6 in the East Crescent complex has two apartments, a lightscoop studio and a south facing, wedge-shaped, one-room apartment that is currently used as a dorm for workshop participants and visiting groups. The floor contains a hydronic heating system protected by a layer of gypcrete.
