Bed Configurations

Find the specifics for bed configurations in every hall on the individual hall pages. See this Bed Lofting worksheet to find the standard bed height (the height the bed will be at for move-in) and the different height options. On the first tab of the worksheet, bed height options are provided; on the second tab, standard bed heights are listed.

For reference: A Fully-lofted bed is 60" tall; a Mid-lofted bed is 32" tall; a Standard-lofted bed is 28" tall. Bunked beds are 32" tall each and stacked.

In general, all beds on campus are lofted or bunked. If you want to request bed lofting services, you can submit a service request with facility services once you have moved in. Please use masking tape to mark the bed that needs adjusting at the height you want. 

Definitions:

  • Bunked bed: Two single beds placed one above the other. Typically halls with bunked beds do not have enough space in the room to separate them.
  • Lofted bed: A bed raised, as on supports, high enough overhead to allow the use of the floor area below for various purposes, such as part of a living room.

Exceptions:

  • Most Stouffer Place and McCarthy beds are not bunked or lofted. 
  • Lewis Hall and Templin Hall beds can be bunked or un-bunked, but not lofted. Unbunked beds - only in Lewis or Templin - could accommodate bed risers of no more than five inches.
  • Scholarship hall beds, except Miller and Watkins, can be bunked or un-bunked, but not lofted.
