Lewis Hall received all new room furniture in Summer 2022! Now all furniture will allow for more options of layouts and lofting. There are two sets of furniture, all modular. The standard room in Lewis is a luxurious 14‘6” x 12‘ double (were you sitting down for that? #roomy) which includes:
Two modular standard twin XL beds (80 in. in length) that can be set at various heights, including lofted
Two ladders, lofting kits, mattresses, and sets of safety rails
Two desks with power units and two desk chairs
Two 2-drawer stackable dresser drawers
Two 2-drawer wardrobes with hanging space
Some rooms have one built-in wardrobe from floor to ceiling*
Two side shelves and two bed shelves that attach to both the metal and wooden bars of the bed frame (eg. can be placed vertically with each other on bed footer/header)
One 62”h x 54”w window with beige/whitish blackout curtains (these curtains can’t be removed or replaced, so don’t bring your own! ). Below the window is a low heat vent that stretches all the way across the window wall.
One sink with a mirrored medicine cabinet (most of them also have storage underneath)
One or two towel racks mounted beside the sink (one on the wall and one on the wardrobe)
Three to four bookshelves, about 8”-12” deep and 5‘ long mounted high up on the wall (some but not all rooms)
Two outlets for computers and hook-ups for ND‘s Ethernet, as well as the cable connection and a coaxial cable
One waste basket and one recycling bucket
One small bulletin board/white board in the hallway outside your door
*The built-in wardrobe has five drawers, all of different sizes, and two hanging areas. One of them is longer than the other (see picture below). There are shelves above the hanging areas as well as two shelves for shoes, but most people bring stackable plastic bins and fill them with clothes for extra storage. These can be placed under the bed or around the room as you see fit.
This pair brought a hanging closet rod extender (bottom left) to increase their closet space, but this is what a typical closet looks like.
You can put hanging racks on the main door and closet doors, but make sure not to use nails or screws on the doors or walls, as that will damage them and you will be charged a fine! Also, note that the main door is a fire door and is taller and thicker than normal, so most people only use over-the-door hooks on their closet doors. Some things that can be used on the walls and doors are blue painter’s tape, command strips and hooks, poster putty, or anything else that can be removed without damage.
The beds can be bunked or set at a variety of heights, including lofted.
