Trachten-Zachs Hillel House
Multi-Purpose Room (MPR)
With the ability to partially close the room, we have two rooms that combine to create the best event space! The Northside features a large screen projector that covers most of the wall. The Southside has direct access to our Kosher kitchen. Microphones and surround sound available upon request.
​
**Note** The kosher kitchen attached to the Southside of the MPR can only be used if it is kept COMPLETELY kosher. For more information on the laws of Kashrut, click here!
Dedicated in 2010 by Morris Trachten and Henry Zachs, the Trachten-Zachs Hillel house is an 8500-square-foot facility serving over 2,000 Jewish undergraduate and graduate students in Storrs.
As many of our students say, The Trachten-Zachs Hillel House is really a home away from home. Whether it's to study or play a game of pool, our students can be found in our numerous study and lounge spaces around the clock.
Throughout the academic year, Hillel provides a wide variety of meaningful and engaging programming in our building including speakers, study breaks, movie screenings, and more!
