Miller and Dieseth Halls
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.
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.
