 Good morning, and welcome to Futural Hall here at 10 o'clock on this fine Monday morning. A little bit muggy. A little bit humid today. It's a little humid. It's currently 84 outside. Okay, right. So we are at the front of Futural. It kind of is a little bit different. You're thinking of the front being garland, but that's actually not the front. So we're gonna be right beside the campus bookstore right here. You can go through the trees there. There's the trees. There's the Starbucks in there. If you ever have any questions about your computer, you can go in there and hopefully they can help you out. And you can also just get your books there. So something I suggest to parents is just getting it from there when you come to school. I got my iPhone screen replaced at once too. Yeah. Oh, I need to go there because my iPhone is currently broken. Oh no. So good idea to use that bookstore. They also have this thing where you just put in your class and what the section is. And they find the book for you, which is super nice. Nice. So yeah, also in the where garland is, you're on the backside of garland. So where garland is, you're going to be right around Pat Walker Health Center by the Northwest Quads. And your closest dining call is going to be the Fulbright Dining Call, which is connected to the quads. So you can go there for all of your meals past six p.m. You can go and do meal trade at certain places. And it starts at actually four p.m. in the union for meal trade. So just things to know about where you are on campus. Absolutely. I'm trying to give a little shot here of the hall itself. Yes. When was this hall built? It was built in 1963. And it was named after the president, future, um, his wife. So she was very active here on campus for about 26 years. And she went to a lot of university functions. So loved her so much. They named a hall after her. Very cool. So we will go inside and start cheering. And do you remember how many people roughly 195 with five floors? Yes. There's a ground kind of five floors right there. Yeah. So there's a ground kind of basement and then there's one, two, three, four. Right. Yeah. And if you guys have any questions, please just type them in the comment box. We will go see a dorm today in bathroom. So come prepared. All right. We just got fobbed in. It's a big part of the security here. She needs to be sure you get fobbed in. So you'll have a fob with your keys for every single little hall no matter what you're in. And you can't fob them to the dorm unless you have that. Can't knock on the door. No one can let you in. So if your friends are coming to visit you, you need to come down here and actually follow them in. Yeah. Looks like we have a camp going on right now. So we currently have a camp going on. These mailboxes are fake. You won't actually get your mail here. You'll actually get it at the quads, which is right where the dining hall is. So yeah. Hey, mind if we say hello to you? Hi. What's your name? I'm Eric Peltier. I'm the CRE for a Whole Command Futural. Nice. What is a CRE? I'm the coordinator for residence education. I'm the pro staff member who lives in the hall. I work with the RAs. I work with the residents in the building. Not supervised. I advise the lead hogs for the building. We do joint lead hogs with our Holcomb building across the hall. Like the programming and stuff like that? Yeah. What is some programming that you do here in this hall? Futural has a lot of different programs. One of our larger programs that we do is Futural Coffee House. That happens in the spring semester, sometime around spring break. So we open that up to the campus. We have it down in the basement, which I think you guys will go look at eventually. And we have some of that stuff. And we have some just joint programs again with Holcomb. Try to think of some popular ones. We have Winter Wonderland. Okay. Is a cookie decorating one that we have in November. That sounds delicious. Yes. A lot of students like that one. We'll have casino nights. We have a rave in March usually. Very cool. You mentioned the coffee shop. The coffee house is that like just come play your guitar, do whatever? Yeah, we open it up. It's essentially an open mic night. If you want to do a poem, sing a song, play music, do whatever. We get coffee from a vendor in town. And usually there's actually a little bit of a competition. So we sometimes have a prize. We've given away, I'm trying to say, a number of prizes we've done in the past. I know we've done like beats headphones and stuff like that. Nice. Nice. So I'm looking forward to if you look here, whether you're in this hall or not, you still come to the coffee shop. And then we have a desk here. Right here is the front desk. There's not always someone here. So when they are here, we're about to go show you the kitchen and all that stuff. You can actually rent that kitchen utensils and stuff like that out from this right desk right here. And then you can ask you or you can ask them any questions that you may have regarding the hall or regarding the university. So they're someone good to utilize. Very cool. Why don't we go check out some more of this hall? Yes. And whoever is listening, feel free. Tell us where you're from. And whether you are living here in Futural or maybe you lived here in the past, we've had a lot of alumni have tuned in over time as well. So this is going to be the basement ground floor. It's going to have laundry, just kind of like a hangout room. I'll show you the laundry first. We're on the ground floor. Let's go check out this big main room. Well, we have the main room. So this is just like a really cool area to come down and hang out with all your friends. You can get some studying done at the table side we have. There's also a ping pong table. So if you ever want to have a really cool ping pong tournament, they have that and you can still like I said, rent the equipment from upstairs at the front desk. There is a bunch of artwork going on. There's a camp here right now. There's some tiles too on this table. I always have people pointed out it says U of A and that side says hogs. U of A hogs right there. So they have vending machines right here that is not included in any fee so that you're going to have to pay for it out of pocket. So that means with cash with your credit card debit card or with Apple Pay. So we discovered that the other day you can do Apple Pay using your watch. Eric, do you do much programming here in this room? I would say like for our large hall programs this is the main area where we do everything. This is where a coffee house will happen and a lot of our bigger building programs will happen in this area. Is this your first year here at Hockham Hall? No, this is my third calendar year. I'm going into my fourth school year though. Oh wow, I started in the middle of August. So 2014. Okay. So you've seen things in this hall? Yeah. Yeah. And I've only been since I've been at the U of A. I've only been in Hockham and Futurals. So this has been. Gotcha. Any words of wisdom for someone who's coming and living here for their first time? Words of wisdom. Tips and tricks about living in Hockham Hall. Things to know. Well, insider track stuff. In Futurals, it's a really calm building. It's a pretty quiet building. We're really well situated. I don't know if you guys mentioned it, but I mean the dining halls are right across the road. We've got Pat Walker Health Center in the, I mean we're really essentially located building and it's pretty quiet here for being where it's located as we are. And if, yeah, try to think, I really don't have, I mean it's a pretty calm building. Sure. It seems like a pretty calm building indeed. Yeah. If you're looking for calm, it's definitely one of the best things. So much chill. So much chill in this place. You want to look at the movie room and the kitchenette? Yeah. So we'll look at the kitchenette first. So like I said, you can rent anything from the upstairs front desk. So you can come here and there's a table where you can eat. There's a microwave. There's a fridge. And the best part is a stove top. So if you're ever getting sick of that hot or dining hall food, just come here and cook yourself a frozen pizza like I did. Cook some sugar cookies. You don't have to rent any of your own stuff. You can if you want to, but it just takes up more space. So definitely there's something to use with your friends if you're just wanting to make something besides the hall food. Sure. And upstairs at the desk, I think it's open most evenings. You can go up there and get stuff. And then we'll go this way towards the movie theater room. It's really cool. I wish I had this in the dorm. I loved it. I loved in Yokem Hall. To what? So the movie room. It's so cool. Oh, yeah. So this is summer cycling right here. Aluminum newspaper and paper plastics. It looks like a ping pong battle as well. I think a ping pong battle is about to start in there. Who will win? Hey, so here's the super cool TV movie room. It has that black stand up there. You can have put in DVDs. There's a police station and reclining chairs, which is super nice. Unlike any other residence hall, this is something that's super unique to Featural. Something that you should definitely take advantage of because school can get hard and school can get chest full. So it's a nice place to come down here and relax and just take a load off. So what's one of your favorite movies to watch? Whenever you're feeling stressed. My ultimate favorite movie is Remember the Titans. Really? I'm a huge football girl. Okay. Huge football girl. So and I just, I love history too. So that time era, I'm like, yes. Sure. I love that time. It's like 60, 70s. Okay. Yeah. Fantastic. All right. Well, let's head out and see the little courtyard area. Yes. Good ping pong battle going on. Yes. It does get used quite a bit. That's so funny. Okay. The laundry. Did we look at the laundry yet? No, I don't think we did. Well, look at that after we go out to this courtyard. They're right. All right. I guess we're going to see the laundry first. I thought the door was before that. So we'll see the laundry first. Okay. There are some clothes made washed because there's currently a camp here. So there's a lot of people here. So we're going to have five washers, six dryers and it is including your house and fee. So you don't have to put a point into it. You don't have to do any of that. Kind of loud. So let's step out of there so they can hear you better. Something cool about the laundry room is they have this laundry alert system. So you can download the app on your phone or you can use your computer. There's a QR code that you can scan and you can scan that and then it will tell you when your clothes are done washing or they're done drying. You can come down here and pick them up if you don't want to stay down here the whole time. I'll also tell you when there's an open one up. So sometimes you'll come down here. It's just kind of annoying because everything's filled up because especially if you do your laundry on Sunday that's whenever you know what else wants to do it. So I'll tell you when something's open and you can just come down here and grab it and it'll send a notification to your phone like through the app and also if you're a computer if you choose to do it that way. So there's a sign on the wall if you have no idea what I'm saying at the end of this that tells you exactly how to do it. All this instruction right there. All the instructions. For a building like this with five floors you probably do want to check it before you bring off before you schlep all your laundry down here because you need to come down here and have it already full. Yeah and like if you're like me I don't do my laundry probably once a month I'm horrible at it and so you would come down here and it's just you have three loads to put in and everything's made use. So here. So this is a cool little courtyard. It's going to show you a little bit about what's kind of on the other side from you. So you have some park benches right here. You can have a little campfire if you want to make sure that you ask before you do that. And that can be Holcomb Hall which is your like neighboring call. Right. And right across the street that's currently under construction is going to be Pat Walker Health Center. So whenever you're sick or you need something that's going to be your closest doctor's office. And then there's the Northwest Quad which is right next to it and that's kind of where your dining call is. So Fulbright dining call is kind of connected to that. So they have really good pasta. They make pasta in front of you and it's kind of like fried rice in a way. So good. I would walk because my closest dining call was the rough dining call which is over there towards the business college and all of that. And I'd walk down here just for that. It was so good. Just for the stir fry. Just for the stir fry. It was so good. So yeah. We'll go back inside and now we will go see. There's a common space on the first floor that we miss. I'd like to like walk through as well as we go up there. And then we can go check out the bedroom. The bathroom and the bedrooms. We'll walk back up. Yes, back up again. There is an elevator in this hall so y'all have to use the stairs which is not a bad thing because we all need to exercise. Do you want to get to the... Yeah, let's go back out to the front desk area. Yes, I feel like how there's a camp going on right now. There is a lot of... I'm super happy. I love it. So there are some other side of the wing right here. We're all about going green on the campus. So there's this kind of room where you can use. This is kind of like a study hall, I would say. So you can come in here. There's a piano for all you people. Do you play? I like it. There you go. That's from Miley Cyrus when I look at you. Nice white board right there. So white board definitely is bringing around X-Men markers if you're going to do it however. And you can always do group projects in here if you're in a math class. That's always nice just to work it out on the board. So you can see air or any of that. We don't make airs though. We're fantastic. Some study desks right here that you can take advantage of. You'll have a bunch, some clock depending on your class. You'll have a bunch of group projects so it's all so nice when you guys can come here and all meet up and definitely take advantage of what you have in your hall. All right. There's just a lot of trophy cases here too. Yeah. So there's a lot of competitions. Is there a long-standing history of trophy winning for this hall? Yeah. We haven't won one in a while but back actually when this hall was all female you'll see most of them are for different various activities but a lot of them are back in the archery for example. Yeah. Archery, bowling, basketball, try to remember like track and field events. Yeah. But this hall way back I don't know how far back but it used to be graduate students but before that it used to actually be all female. Okay. It was an all-female hall. Yeah. Back in the day. Back in the day. Interesting. So it didn't hurt to like look at this. There's two trophy cases and if you want to you can just take a spin through futureals history. It's really cool honestly. There's a lot of unique trophies up here so we got archery, bowling, basketball, a lot of basketball, archery, fencing. Fencing. You know just two fencing trophies right here. Tennis. So yeah something super cool. So here's another big common area. Another common area of really big TV. Definitely good. That is a monster. What is that? I know it's a monster. I've never seen such a big TV in my life. So definitely something good to come down here if you wanted to watch The Bachelor on Monday nights when it comes on soon or Bachelorette. I know girls are all about that. And then here's another common place right here where you can just come and just hang out. And there's one back there that has a table as well. So at that study room happened to be a little bit preoccupied. You can come over here and definitely use that. Great. Okay. There's also some board games. Always fun. It's always fun to do games. So we're going to go back over here. We're going to go to the bathroom and we will go to the one of the bedrooms. And we're actually going to show you a room that you might have seen if you came to tour with admissions. It's one of our showrooms. It's actually a theme of environmentalism. And it's nice because it's like a real lot of room. Like it has furniture and everything. Yes. We'll go through on this side. Right. Okay. So there are campers here. So we're going to need to be a little bit aware of this. So we have to knock. We may not be able to go to the bathroom. We'll see. Okay. Okay. Let's go look at the bedroom and then we'll come back through. Yes. So something else I was going to say to your parents is each hall, each floor is each floor is done by girl boys. So like the first and the third floor are going to be all girl floors and then the ground, the second and the fourth floor is going to be all guys. So you don't have to worry about that. Yes. So right here we're going to have two beds. You're going to have two desks with some little side drawers. You're going to have each big open closet and then you're going to have some drawers right here. All of our entry in here is going to be movable. So you can move it however you want. Honestly, when you move in, I would just leave it how it is because they put it that way for a reason because you're going to get the most out of your space. So definitely you can if you want. There's also going to be two different size beds in this room just to show you for example. So this is just going to be like your regular bed that's up against the wall. It's going to be 76 inches. So this is just going to be like a normal bed but however you can request a bigger size bed and this one's going to be about 80 or so. Yeah, anything like 36 width. Yeah. So just for someone who's a little bit taller and typically you do not put the longer bed by the door. So if you are wanting the longer bed, you'll have to be against the wall. Which is not bad. I love to be against the wall. And I just have this little nice shelf up here if you need some extra space. Just showing you things that you could use in your hall. Here's your drying rack. You'll definitely need this because if you're like me, I don't dry half of my clothes. So I was constantly just finding places all over my room to hang stuff. So it's nice to have this in your room. You can also put your back towels on there after taking a shower and everything. You can't put your under armor right in the dryer. You can't. You gotta put your, your athleisure up there. I can't put any of my athleisure in the dryer because I know it will shrink. So here's going to be some closet space. Similar is going to be two on top, two on bottom. It is separated by the sole right here. There's also going to be a drawer down here that opens. You can lock it if you bring a little lock with it. If you had something valuable, you can always put that down there. As long as you lock your door, you shouldn't have to worry about locking your bottom drawer unless you don't trust your roommate, which my roommate's my best friend. I hope that is for you too. So it's something nice that you can use. And then like I said, there's like four different hanging shelves. There's two, there's another one over here. So like this will just be yours. So there's two in the room, which is super nice because it's different when you're moving from your house at home to a smaller place here. It's not bad. You'll end up loving this place. I wish I still had a twin bed honestly. It's just nice because you don't want to get as much clutter. Don't bring us much when you're trying to move in. You can always buy stuff when you get here. This is Walmart USA right here. We got Target. We got TJ Maxx, Bed Bath and Beyond. So bring less rather than bringing more because you are in a smaller space. So you're going to want to use as much open space as you can because you don't want to overcoat it because it can get very overcoated real quickly. So here's just the desk right here. There are some drawers right here like this is where you can lock it. And there's something cool about this chair. If you ever have a lot of your friends in here and y'all are just kind of hanging out, you can actually take this chair off and make this a little rocking chair. So some like a rock in that while someone's sitting on this one while someone sits in the bed. So just kind of bends. Expand your space a little bit and then we've got this. I hated people sitting in my bed unless it was me. One of those weird people. Boundaries. Boundaries. And so we also this is like we said earlier this is our green room so we have a bunch of things in here that talk about going green. Recycling is a really big thing on this campus that all halls actually compete for a recycling award. Currently, Walton Hall has a two years run. Two years run in. Recycling ania. Just try to beat them. Everyone needs to try to beat them. But it does tell you all this cool stuff like you can ride your bike on campus. You can ride it after 5 p.m. You can't ride it between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is a walk zone only on campus. Well, certain places. Certain places. Just the central part. Yeah. Makes me that when I'm like walking from the business college to like old man and someone's running a bike. But like right outside here you can definitely ride your bike. Sure. Anywhere you just got to be aware of their sign. Let me ask and see. There's a couple people watching. Somebody wants us to get any particular measurements while we're in here. Yeah, we can definitely do that. We're a few to help. We hope to be that transition for your students and for y'all to get some clarity before moving into your new home. So you want to answer anything that you may have. Do you know if we got access to the bathroom? We can ask to see if that's the case. Well, I'll ask them. Yeah. Hey, Eric? Yeah. Did we get access to the bathroom? Do you know if anyone can see? Do you think it's open? Do you think it's open? Sweet. Let's go. Let me grab my tape measure real quick. Let's take a look and see. The bathroom, there's doors on either side. Yeah, so it's back and forth. We'll share it. Yes, they're out. Is that curious? That's not curious, George. Is that, no? There's a basically, I think y'all have one? Okay. So we're going to have three restrooms right here. You know, just regular old toilets are so fun. Two sinks on this side and then you're going to have three sinks on this side. Just because sometimes there's showers and people like to wash their hands after showers. There's going to be four showers right here. You're going to have a changing area where you can go inside of before you go into the shower. So you have a hook right here where you can put your stuff. I suggest bringing a shower caddy to hold off your stuff in. And then you have the actual shower shower. So water pressure is a lot better than you think. It's actually always hot water, which is super nice. People are kind of scared about that when they move into a hall. Everything's super great about it. You have shelves right here where you can put your stuff on. And then of course it's obvious when one's occupied. So things to know about when you move in and bring a towel wrap and definitely always, always, always wear shower shoes. Lessons learned. Lessons learned. It gets really disgusting. The bathrooms are claimed every single day. You just have to remember there's so many people taking showers. So it's just different. Well, I'm going to make a request to see if anybody has any questions. And if not, we may just go ahead and say goodbye. And you can join us at two p.m. for a welcome hall. Any more questions? I will say this isn't the only UR Come Live that you can watch. We have another home live tours about move-in prep. How to prep yourself before you're about to move into your hall, which everyone's excited about. We're probably about a month or so away. We're a month and four days away from starting classes. And that's kind of dreadful hearing that. But we have that move-in prep. We also have something called Prep Your Tech where you can learn if you're bringing a TV because you can have a TV in every single room. There's cable in there that also has some HBO's on it. How to set everything up, including like Wi-Fi and stuff like that. It's super easy to use here on campus. And about the campus dining here. So something I would turn into just because you want to know everything. It can kind of get confusing, but as long as you watch these videos, it really, really helps a lot. That's what we're trying to do for y'all. We're really trying to help out and make this transition into college cheaper and easy for you. Well thank you Molly for helping with telling us more about a future hall. You can write us out. We will see you all later and hopefully you watch the Hulkam Hall at 2 p.m. Okay, bye-bye.
