“Escher House, a complex located at 1500 Gilbert Court, is the name given to the North Campus cooperatives as a whole. It is one building comprised of nine suites: Valhalla, Bertrand, Karma, Falstaff, Trantor-Mir, Walden III, John Sinclair, Bag End, and Zapata. These nine suites initially operated as nine distinct co-ops, but were consolidated due to perceived inefficiencies in administration.
Maurits Cornelis Escher, commonly referred to as MC Escher, was a Dutch graphic artist. His body of work features abstract mathematical concepts, and has become famous due to its representation of impossible space.”
