Turath House
22 Lawn Avenue
Turath is an Arabic word meaning heritage. The mission of the house is to allow any student who identifies as Arab or Middle Eastern, as well as Muslim students of all ethnicities and nationalities, to empower themselves and maintain and reclaim their identities. First and foremost, Turath provides a space for Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim students to articulate their views and express and affirm their culture and religion without fear of harassment and discrimination. In addition it acts as the focal point of Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim cultural and religious activities on campus, a support network, and as a representative voice of the communities. All students interested in learning about and celebrating Arab, Middle Eastern and Muslim cultures are welcome in Turath.

Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not taken care of properly. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, landlords must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling. Tenants must also receive a Federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention. The pamphlet may be viewed at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/library/enforcement/pyf_eng.pdf. The University recognizes that any housing built prior to 1978 may contain lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. By accepting your housing contract, you are affirming that you have reviewed the pamphlet Protect Your Family from Lead In Your Home.
All Wesleyan housing was built before 1978 with the exception of the following: Fauver Residence Hall, Fauver Apartments, 19 Fountain Avenue, 20 Fountain Avenue, 25 Fountain Avenue, 231 Pine Street, and 14 Warren Street.
