Student housing

In the fall of 2003, Weatherford College opened a new, on-campus, student community known Coyote Village. A unique alternative to traditional dormitory living, the facility features apartment-style, two- and four-bedroom suites for 280 students. Construction began in 2022 on a new residence hall on campus.

In the fall of 2024, Durant Hall was opened. This 118-room facility maintains four-bedroom suites similar to Coyote Village. Named after long-time Weatherford College supporters Vickie and Jerry Durant, this building is noteworthy for its Western ski lodge-like decor, including floor-to-ceiling fireplaces and elkhorn chandeliers.
