Where you live can shape how you live.

Introducing Glacier Hall. A residence hall for the next generation of Grizzlies who want to experience Montana inside and outside.

More than 171,000 square feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows. Individual, climate-controlled rooms.

With custom artwork spanning six levels, every floor has its own color scheme and design that highlights iconic Montana landscapes, flora and fauna.

The entrance features a walking path containing colorful aggregate sourced from the Bitterroot Valley, designed in a flowing pattern inspired by Missoula’s three rivers.

Inside, the first floor features an entirely wood ceiling of Douglas fir, accentuating western Montana’s natural elements.

The roof includes a 50-kilowatt solar array, and the entire residence hall is on-track to be one of 16 LEED Gold Certified buildings in Missoula.

Including energy efficient heating and cooling, Glacier Hall is sustainable and eco-friendly at every turn.
Did we mention the seamless visual connection and inspiring experience between indoor spaces, and our surrounding landscape?

Named for and inspired by Montana’s majestic landscapes and ecosystems.

Doors open Fall 2027. Six hundred beds. Open to prospective and current Grizzlies.

Prospective students must formally apply to UM first, before applying for housing.

Open for application starting TODAY.

A new Friday tradition starts this week🧡🐻

University of Montana President Jeremiah Shinn has proclaimed every Friday as Griz Friday - a chance for students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters to wear their Griz gear and celebrate what it means to be a Grizzly.

Our first Griz Friday kicks off this Friday, Oct. 2, during Homecoming: No Place Like Home.

From the classroom to the field, from campus to communities across Montana and beyond, Griz pride connects generations of Grizzlies.

So grab your maroon, show your colors and join us for the first Griz Friday.

Who’s wearing maroon this Friday??

There’s an old legend on campus that's been around since 1924.

If you don't say "hello" to the person passing you on the north-south sidewalk from the Grizzly Bear Statue to the Dennison Theatre, you fail your next exam.

That's why during Homecoming, we don't take any chances.

One sidewalk. Thousands of hellos. One very Griz tradition.

Happy Homecoming, Montana!

Greek Life has been a part of UM’s campus for over 100 years! And this past weekend, the sororities welcomed new members to their home away from home during Bid Day!

We're so excited to welcome these new members into a community built on friendship, leadership, service and connection.

What Greek house were you in during your time at the University of Montana?
