That's a very striking building (beautifully photographed). Can you say a bit more about how the term "residential college" is meant here? Does it mean the same as "dormitory" (essentially the same as a communal apartment building or hostel), or does it mean "college" in the sense of the Oxford and Cambridge University colleges? In other words, is this "residential college" a permanent body of students and faculty (fellows), with a faculty master or president at the head; does the building include a dining room for the college, a small library, and so on? Does it represent a cross-section of the university as a whole?

I maintain a website about residential colleges in this Oxford/Cambridge-sense:
