The five houses of the Berkshire Quad make up the residences of Currier Neighborhood. Currier Neighborhood is near Goodrich Hall, the Spencer Studio Art Building, the Williams College Museum of Art, and is squared off by the Old Hopkins Observatory.

Currier Neighborhood houses students in five residences, which vary in shape, size, and amenity. Members of the Currier Neighborhood eat in Driscoll Dining Hall, and enjoy quad living, using the spacious grassy area for concerts and parties, night games, pancake breakfasts, and impromptu soccer matches.

Currier House
Currier House is the home of the famed Currier Ballroom, one of the nicest programming spaces on campus, featuring rich wood paneling, high ceilings, and a piano. The Ballroom is a great space for classy social events and has hosted many Cap-and-Bells productions, balls, costume parties, and classy dinners. Currier has mainly single rooms, but the doubles are truly awesome. Very tall students can actually stand in the fireplace in one of the rooms adjacent to the ballroom, which also has a curious stone head affixed to the mantelpiece. Currier has a feel of "lived-in charm and days-gone-by." Bluestone stairs showing years of foot erosion from former students take you to the upper floors with rooms arranged in suite-like style and curved common rooms at each end. Basement rooms boast high ceilings and French windows and doors. A small kitchen on the basement floor can be used for modest food prep.

East College
East College, named for its obvious geographical location opposite West College, was built in 1842. Having sustained a bad fire in 1841, it was rebuilt a year later and was recently brought up-to-date.East has housed first-year students for many many years, but it was renovated during the summer of 2006 to house upper-class students who belong to the Currier Neighborhood. Renovations included the construction of a new common room on the first floor, and updates to rooms. East currently has both singles and doubles, and houses sophomores, juniors and seniors. Rounding out the north-west corner of the Berkshire Quad, it is near to the Williams College Art Museum, and right across the eyes from Goodrich Hall.

Fayerweather
Fayerweather, or as it's affectionately called "Fay," is almost identical in structure to East College. It was, in fact, called South College until 1905, when rags-to-riches Daniel Fayerweather's long-argued will helped to pay for renovations. Long the home of first year students and JAs, Fayerweather was renovated in Summer '06 to house sophomores, juniors, and seniors who belong in the Currier Neighborhood. Renovations updated rooms and added a large common room and kitchen in the basement. Housed at the southwest corner of the Berkshire Quad, Fay is close to the Williams College Art Museum, Driscoll Dining Hall, the Athletic Facilities, and Goodrich Hall.

Prospect House
Prospect House, renovated during Summer 2004, is a building that has its following of students. Rooms are on horizontal hallways, and have great views south towards the purple mountains and the football field, and north into the quad. Each floor has a good common room, and the basement common room is spacious with comfy couches, tables for studying, and mood-setting track lighting. And let us not forget--Prospect boasts one of the nicest kitchens on campus and a huge flat-screen tv! The basement also has a pool table and vending machines--what more could one need!? Prospect is close to the Athletic Facilities, Driscoll Dining Hall, and Goodrich Hall, and has huge doubles and good-sized singles.

Fitch House
Fitch houses 44 students in a friendly building of mostly singles and a few doubles. Singes are arranged to share one common room per two singles, and doubles in the north entry are perfect for rising sophomores who have poor lottery picks. The basement has a nice-sized kitchen and a curious tiger painted on one of its walls. Rooms have wood floors and, if you're lucky enough to get on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you'll have beautiful views of the quad and the surrounding purple mountains. Fitch is a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Driscoll Dining Hall and Prospect House, and two-hops-two-skips-and-two-jumps from the Art Building.
