Many of our residents have found that lofts enable them to use the floor space in their rooms more efficiently. Over the years, students have come up with a variety of loft designs. As the popularity of lofts has grown, Residence Life has felt an increasing need to provide students with some guidance regarding the utilization of lofts in the residence halls.
