Lake Hall is comprised mostly of double rooms. All beds use twin-extra long sheets. The loft-able furniture present in the rooms provides a multitude of furniture arrangement options! Fridge, Freezer, Microwave Units come standard in the rooms.

Required preventative maintenance is completed in each student room twice a year.

Lofting Instructions

Please note: the manufacturer of the wooden bed does not support what is commonly called ‘half-lofting’ of the wooden style of furniture provided. Therefore, we are unable to provide demonstrations or support for ‘half-lofting’ of residence hall wooden beds.

Lake and Olson Halls are staffed by a Residence Hall Director (RHD), a Graduate Assistant (GA), and twelve Resident Assistants (RAs). The staff's main goals are to provide the residents with valuable information, create a positive community through educational programming, maintain a safe and high-quality living environment and serve as a resource whenever a student has a question or concern.

The Lake Hall Council also operates with the goal of improving student living. Hall Council provides all residents with an opportunity to interact with one another through weekly meetings and a variety of fun activities and programs. The Executive Board provides leadership opportunities within the hall, as well as the whole campus.
