Miller and Dieseth Halls (Towers)

Miller Hall and Dieseth Hall comprise the Regents Towers (or just "The Towers" in student-speak), named for Frank Miller and John Dieseth, two former members of the Luther Board of Regents. Completed in the late 1960s, these nine-story residence halls are situated on a bluff overlooking the Oneota Valley and Upper Iowa River. Both halls will have been renovated prior to the start of fall 2012.
Miller and Dieseth are connected via Brunsdale Lounge, which contains a fireplace, social meeting space, study lounge, and computer lab. The lounge is also named for a former Regent, Norman Brunsdale. Miller and Dieseth primarily house sophomore and junior students.
