Beckwith Living Center (later renamed Beckwith Hall) opened in 1981 as a living learning community that assisted disabled students with day to day activities and aided their transition into independent living. The Transitional Disability Management Program formed shortly after, which provides Beckwith students with individualized support. In 2010, the program and community moved to the first floor of Nugent Hall and was renamed the Beckwith Residential Community.
- Beckwith Residential Community can be found on the first floor of Nugent Hall.
