Currier House is one of twelve undergraduateresidential Houses ofHarvard College, inCambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Opened in September 1970, it is named after Audrey Bruce Currier, a member of theRadcliffe College Class of 1956 who, along with her husband, was killed in a plane crash in 1967. The area was formerly used as housing forRadcliffe College, and as such the four towers of Currier House are named for distinguished alumnae of Radcliffe, including the authorBarbara Tuchman. Along withCabot House andPforzheimer House, Currier is part of the formerRadcliffe Quadrangle, known colloquially as simply "the Quad."

Currier House consists of four towers containing mostly single rooms adjoined by a sink room or bathroom. Currier also has some coveted living arrangements, including the "Ten-Man," which is a suite of ten singles and three full bathrooms arranged around Harvard's largest common room, and three penthouse suites nicknamed "Solarium rooms." In 2005, Currier renovated a common space known as the "Fishbowl" to set up an entertainment center with a big screen projector and surround sound system.

The current Faculty Deans are Latanya Sweeney and Sylvia Barrett. TheAllston Burr Resident Dean is Laura Johnson. Previous deans have included scholar ofIslam and former Dean ofHarvard Divinity School William A. Graham, chemist andNobel laureateDudley R. Herschbach,classicistGregory Nagy, and historian of science Barbara Gutmann Rosenkrantz.

In 2004–2005, Currier House won the Straus Cup for the first time in over twenty years. The cup is given to the house that scores the most points in intramural athletic competition during the school year.

Student government in Currier House consists of the Currier House Committee, of which all house residents are members. The committee operates separately from theHarvard Undergraduate Council (UC), to organize student events and manage funding. The Currier HoCo, like student government organizations in the other Houses, is funded by the UC and maintained by an executive council run by students in leadership positions. Elections for the two Chair positions and the other social organization positions are held each January during the Super Bowl Halftime show, which is broadcast in the Fishbowl common space. The two HoCo co-chairs are Jacob Miller and Annie Garofalo.

Gates and Ballmer met in Currier House, where the two lived on the same floor,^[2] and formed a friendship that later led Gates to recruit his college friend to join his budding software company.^[3] Gates also described during his 2007 commencement address at Harvard how he initiated one of his first software deals while making a call from his room in Currier House.^[4]
