Location: Off Campus, Residences
Historical Note:

By the late 1990s the University was moving towards apartment-style dorms for both graduate and undergraduate students. The idea was for students to enjoy the independence of being in an apartment setting with all the convenience of being on campus, creating a "modern collegiate residence environment".

Flickinger Court serves as graduate student housing set on an 11-acre lot adjacent to UB North Campus. The University's first apartment-style housing, Flickinger Court was a model for the new North Campus dormitories.
