Although some rooms vary in size, most even-numbered rooms are 16’1”
x 12’0” (180.6 square feet) with a window measuring 3’10”
x 5’4” (w x h), while odd-numbered rooms are 15’11”
x 11’10” (180.6 square feet) with a window measuring 4’8”
x 5’4”. The walls are plaster and are slightly over
eight feet. Rooms are equipped with two dressers, closets, desks,
desk chairs, bunkable beds, two trash cans (one for recyclables and the other for
regular trash), and shelves above the desks. The window has
a pull-down shade and a curtain rod that requires drapery hooks to
attach curtains; curtains are not provided. Only the beds and desk
chairs can be moved within the room; other furniture is permanently
fixed. The standard bunk bed arrangement is 19” from the
floor to the top of the lower mattress and 57” from the floor
to the top of the upper mattress; this arrangement allows approximately
eight inches of clearance under the lower mattress. Residents
may have lofts, but they must be sturdy, well braced, and of solid
construction. Each closet has two sliding doors with a clothing
rod and overhead storage. Lighting is provided in the room via
fluorescent lamps located above the desks or dressers and overhead
on the ceiling.
Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms; however,
university-owned furniture cannot be removed from the room. Pictures
and posters can be hung using poster putty only. Nails, bolts,
tacks, glue, or other adhesives cannot be used to affix materials
to the walls. Requests for painting must be approved in advance
by the Residence Director. Students may NOT return prior
to the official opening of the residence hall to paint their rooms.
