Raising and Lowering your Bed

Making a height adjustment to your bed
Other Considerations about beds
  • Different buildings have different types of furniture

  • Some beds can be raised or lowered in their current setting

  • Some beds can be lofted to store other furniture (desk, bureau, etc.) underneath

  • Some beds can be bunked

  • Every bed that is bunked or lofted is issued a safety railing as part of the process for your use.  If you do not have one, please submit a request here and we will deliver one.
  • If you wish to have your bed adjusted in one of these ways, submit a service request here and our Grounds crew will make the adjustments you request.

  • Please note that students must relocate items from around the bed area so that work can be performed. If this is not done, work may need to be rescheduled and/or Facility Services will not be responsible for minor damage to student belongings.
