Multiple options exist for students to maximize floor space in the residence halls and apartments on campus. To assist with this, Residence Life has provided loftable beds in all on-campus residence halls and apartments. NOTE: Corps dorms are equipped with built-in furniture so lofts are not available for the Corps dorms.
Watch Facilities & Operations student workers Angel and Randa guide you through the process of lofting and delofting your bed. For safety reasons, Residence Life recommends a minimum of 2 people when lofting/de-lofting the beds. Use a rubber mallet only, please do NOT use a metal hammer. Rubber mallets may be borrowed from your Hall Office or ask your RA. (Stabilizer bars should be used for Tall Loft and Junior Loft Bunkable Beds. Guardrails not used in balcony halls, Davis-Gary, and Apartments.)
Various bed and loft options are available to students who live on campus, depending on where you live. Below is a list of each on-campus residence with the type of loft that is available in that facility. Find your residence, then choose the tab for the loft style available in your building to find out more.
Mattress height for all mattresses (twin or full) in all on-campus Residence Halls, Apartments, or Corps Housing is 8″.
