Lofts

You may build lofts in your room unless you live in Brown or Park Region halls or the college apartments and townhouses. The use of plasterboard walls in these halls makes loft construction inadvisable because of the high potential for damage. In other halls, if you build a loft or otherwise alter the configuration of the beds supplied by the college, you must first sign a liability waiver. Lofts must be designed to be free-standing (not suspended or attached), and must include the college’s bedspring or a full length of five-eighths inches of plywood under the mattress. Remaining portions of the college-owned bed must be stored in the room to reduce the likelihood of misplaced or lost pieces. We strongly recommend placing the loft away from the exterior walls as most are constructed of plasterboard and are easily damaged.

Keep in mind that room platforms are not allowed.
