Lau House
Located along North Washington Street and considered part of the Ice House Complex, Lau House is a 4-story house that houses 9 students. Lau House is named after Dr. Robert E. Lau '38, a biology major who became a physician.
Lau House has a full kitchen and dining/ common space on the first floor. Lau House contains three bathrooms. All bathrooms accommodate one person at a time and are gender-neutral.
The basement floor has one single bedroom; the first floor has one double bedroom; the second floor has one double and two singles; and the third floor has one double room.
Each student is provided with an extra-long bed (39 inches x 80 inches x 6 1/2 inches), a desk and chair; a dresser and closet space. The beds have three notches on each bed end to adjust the height of the bed. The first notch is approximately 13 inches off the floor; the second (middle) notch is approximately 18 inches off the floor; the third notch is approximately 23 inches off the floor. Students may also loft or bunk their beds by acquiring the additional pieces necessary to do so. Lofting the bed allows for furniture such as the dresser, desk, and desk chair to slide underneath the bed. The additional pieces to loft/bunk your bed will be available in your building common space during the first several weeks of the fall semester. During the rest of the year, the pieces can be requested by submitting a Facilities Helpdesk request.
