Attention Commons Hall Residents!
(Aston, Dunn, Krueger, Mosher)

The beds in the Commons halls(Aston, Dunn, Krueger, and Mosher) are loftable, therefore it is not necessary to build or rent a loft. The beds are initially set up as lofts. When you arrive, if you desire, you may change the configuration. An instructions handout and an online demonstration are available to provide you with information regarding setting up different bed configurations. We strongly recommend that you view this short online video demonstration to be sure your bed is properly and safely assembled in your desired configuration.

For better space utilization, some students like to use lofts for their beds. Lofts are permitted in all halls.

  • The beds in the Commons halls are loftable, therefore, it is not necessary to build or rent a loft.
  • Lofts can be rented or designed and constructed by the resident(s), except in modular halls.
  • Lofts will be allowed in modular halls only if renting from Lofty Ideas (see Loft Rental Information). Homemade lofts are not permitted in modular halls.

Prior approval is required when a loft is being built. A Loft Request Form is submitted to the Hall Director of your hall AFTER you and your roommate check-in to the hall. For more information or a copy of the Loft Request Form, see Loft Approval Information. If the loft is permitted, the bed already in the room must remain in the room.

Attention Balcony Hall Residents
(FHK Complex, McInnis, Schuhmacher)

While loft beds are allowed, they are not practical in Balcony halls (FHK Complex, McInnis, and Schuhmacher). They do not fit the room space well and they block the built-in wall cabinets (which should never be removed from the walls). Although they are allowed, they are not practical and in the long run do not save significant floor space.

Note: Lofty Ideas, Inc. does not rent lofts to students living in balcony style halls.

Note:

Lofts are allowed in modular style residence hall rooms only if renting from Lofty Ideas. Pre-constructed lofts are provided in modular style apartments.

No prior approval is required in any hall if the loft is rented from Lofty Ideas. (see Loft Rental Information).
