Laundry

Laundry machines.

Residents should follow the instructions below. Residents can also check machine availability in advance using the LaundryView website. 

Tap Your Buzzcard 

Please note that tapping your BuzzCard is required. Look for signage in your laundry room with each step for starting machines (also listed below). Residents will see a $.01* charge appear on screen when activating each machine - this charge goes to an ever-renewing laundry funds account each resident receives, not residents' BuzzCard Funds. This laundry fund loads onto a resident's BuzzCard automatically 24 hours after checking into their room for the term.

Sustainability Tips for Laundry

  • Wash only full loads of laundry to save water, time, and money. 
  • Wash all your laundry in cold water. 
  • Choose clothing with natural fibers to avoid microplastics in our rivers and other water systems.
  • Select sustainable laundry brands and buy in bulk where possible.
  • Air dry your clothing when feasible.
