The dorm is divided into east and west wings which are connected at the center, and similar to East Campus locations are referred to by "(ordinal number) (wing)" when spoken, or "(cardinal number) (wing initial)" when written, such as "5 west" or "5W".
The first level is home to the "TFL" (Tastefully Furnished Lounge, also the site of the annual "Next Act" theatrical production), along with music practice rooms, Next Dining (open everyday to all MIT students for breakfast and dinner), Athena cluster, and workout rooms.
