Each suite in this residence hall has its own private bathroom, which is shared with the adjoining suite. These bathrooms have internal privacy locks but no external (room-side) locks, meaning students can access the adjoining suite through the bathroom. Residents are responsible for keeping their bathroom clean, while Residential Custodial Staff (RCS) provides daily housekeeping for all public areas and 24-hour maintenance services to keep the building comfortable and convenient. Students are responsible for submitting work orders for their own rooms through the Work Order Request page (accessible only on the OHIO network).
