| Most floors in Wallace Hall house men and women in separate wings.
Although rooms vary in size, the average room is 11’10” x
15’8” (184 square feet) with a window measuring 5’8”
x 4’2” (w x h). The walls in Wallace are concrete
block with a height of nearly eight feet. Rooms are equipped
with two dressers, double wardrobes, desks, desk chairs, two trash cans (one for
recyclables and the other for regular trash), and beds that can be
bunked. 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. The window
has a pull-down shade and a curtain rod that requires drapery hooks
to attach curtains; curtains are not provided. Each wardrobe
has a clothing rod and top shelf; the wardrobe opens with hinged double
doors. All furniture, except wardrobes, can be moved within
the room. Lighting is provided in the room via fluorescent lamps
above the desks and overhead on the ceiling. Wallace Hall also contains
6 Transitional Housing Rooms. 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 . 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 of Wallace. Students may NOT
return prior to the official opening of the residence hall to paint
their rooms.
