Richards is home to 150 first-year students housed in single and double occupancy rooms. There are four floors in Richards and they are co-ed by floor.

Each room has moveable furniture, including a bed, desk, desk chair, nightstand, chest of drawers, and a closet for each occupant.

Richards has a TV lounge, study lounge, game room, kitchen, laundry facilities, and vending machines on the first floor.

Residents in Richards enjoy sledding down their hill during snowy winters, and soaking up the sun on the lawn in the spring. They also enjoy the many activities, such as barbecues and band parties, which they often plan with Dravo and Drinker residents.

The building honors the memory of Charles Russ Richards, president of the University from 1922 to 1935. The building is constructed of stone in modified Gothic design.
