Triple furniture done right


In support of the extended housing program, we try to provide the best possible furniture experience, given that we don't want to load up a traditional double room with too many pieces so that there is no room to function. Many years ago we started buying a better quality desk that was closer in style and functionality to the "permanent" desks that the other two residents would be using. In addition, we purchased third beds that could be adjusted up and down like the permanent ones to increase storage space. This week we received delivery of some additional new extended housing desks that will allow us to purge the oldest desks still in the pipeline. Although we haven't come close to the number in many years, we have enough extended housing furniture to set up 200 rooms if needed. This fall we started with a total of 112 rooms and are down to less than 70 now. At the end of the Fall Semester all those still in extended housing will be offered a new assignment.
