Risley Residential College at Cornell University in Ithaca is a Collegiate Gothic residence hall designed by architect William Henry Miller and completed in 1913. Distinctive among Cornell's dormitories, Risley functions as a true residential college rather than a standard dorm, giving its residents—known as "Risleyites"—a voice in the hall's administration and the option to remain there throughout their enrollment. The college emphasizes communal life through shared dining and hosts educational programming including guest lectures. Today it serves as a program house dedicated to creative and performing arts.
