Bed Lofts & Preconfigured Height Adjustments

Bed lofts provide approximately four to five feet of additional space under your bed, which allows for extra storage or a nook for your desk and can be purchased in your AU Housing Portal. Students placed into temporary triples for the fall semester should not rent a loft, as one will be provided. This service is unavailable for Cassell Hall, Frequency Apartments and Nebraska Apartments. Students cannot bring or build their own loft.

• American University mattresses are twin-sized mattresses that measure 80 inches in length. Our twin XL mattresses measure 84 inches long. 

If there is a change to your room assignment prior to move in, but after you complete the bed loft purchase, please e-mail our office (housing@american.edu) to confirm your bed loft placement. During the semester, bed loft purchases will be installed in the order they are received and, usually, no later than one week following the purchase completion date. If you are submitting a request mid-semester, please keep in mind that refunds are not offered for loft removals after the installation is completed. All cancellation requests must be submitted via e-mail to HRL (housing@american.edu).

Laundry Facilities

Laundry facilities are located in each residence hall and students can pay for laundry using EagleBucks. Additionally, the Speed Queen mobile app allows students to check the availability of washers and dryers in a specific laundry room, pay for a washer or dryer from their phone, and receive updates when their laundry is complete.

The UPS Store Storage

The on-campus UPS Store offers a variety of storage options for students over the summer, studying abroad or other periods you may need. Visit their website to learn more about your available options.

The UPS Store is currently receiving boxes for those students who send items prior to the start of school. If received before August 9, boxes will be placed in your room before you arrive at AU. More information can be found here.
