====Housing====
{{Main|Housing at the University of Washington}}
The university operates one of the largest campuses of any higher education institution in the world. Despite this, growing faculty and student count has strained the regional housing supply as well as transportation facilities. Starting in 2012, UW began taking active measures to explore, plan and enact a series of campus policies to manage the annual growth. In addition to new buildings, parking and [[light rail]] stations, new building construction and renovations have been scheduled to take place through 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://cpd.uw.edu/campus-master-plan |title=Campus Master Plan {{!}} Capital Planning and Development |website=cpd.uw.edu |language=en |access-date=August 1, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802040435/https://cpd.uw.edu/campus-master-plan |archive-date=August 2, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> The plan includes the construction of three six-story [[residence hall]]s and two apartment complexes in the west section of campus, near the existing [[Terry and Lander Halls]], in Phase I, the renovation of six existing residence halls in Phase II, and additional new construction in Phase III. The projects will result in a net gain of approximately 2,400 beds. The Residence Hall Student Association (student government for the halls) is the second-largest student organization on campus and helps plan fun events in the halls. For students, faculty, and staff looking to live off-campus, they may also explore Off-Campus Housing Affairs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://housing.asuw.org/ |title=Off-Campus Housing Affairs |publisher=ASUW |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041215084410/http://housing.asuw.org/ |archive-date=December 15, 2004 }}</ref>

The Greek System at UW has also been a prominent part of student culture for more than 115 years. It is made up of two organizational bodies, the [[Interfraternity Council]] (IFC) and the Panhellenic Association. The IFC looks over 34 fraternities with 1,900+ members and Panhellenic consists of 19 sororities and 1,900 members. The school has additional Greek organizations that do not offer housing and are primarily special interest.

====Disability resources====
In addition to the University of Washington's Disability Resources for Students (DRS) office, there is also a campus-wide [[The DO-IT Center|DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center]] program that assists educational institutions to fully integrate all students, including those with disabilities, into academic life. DO-IT includes a variety of initiatives, such as the [[DO-IT Scholars Program]], and provides information on the 'universal' design of educational facilities for students of all levels of physical and mental ability.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.washington.edu/doit/Brochures/Programs/ud.html |title=Universal Design: Process, Principles, and Applications |date=June 14, 2012 |publisher=Washington.edu |access-date=June 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120428030609/http://www.washington.edu/doit/Brochures/Programs/ud.html |archive-date=April 28, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> These design programs aim to reduce systemic barriers which could otherwise hinder the performance of some students, and may also be applied to other professional organizations and conferences.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.washington.edu/doit/CUDE/app_project.html |title=Applications of Universal Design to Projects, Conference Exhibits, Presentations, and Professional Organizations |publisher=Washington.edu |access-date=June 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120531051627/http://www.washington.edu/doit/CUDE/app_project.html |archive-date=May 31, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>
