Loft Guidelines & Options

Many students living in University Residences elect to have elevated beds, commonly known as lofts, to increase the usable space in their room. There are various options regarding what type of loft a student may use depending on their housing assignment.

Things to Consider Before Deciding on a Loft

Before making a decision regarding a loft, be sure to check with your roommate to see if they would like a loft in the room and if they had intended to purchase one. All roommates must consent to use of the loft.
