 Abby and we are here at Gladstone Ripley. We're going to do a live residence hall tour and we're going to show you the inside around us here. There's the there's the Gladstone Ripley sign which actually the code for this place is glad. I like that. G-L-A-D. So we're actually located. We've got the Palm Frateria that's down there. Yeah just down the hill right. Palm fruit we were there earlier. Yeah. We've got a breath that's right up top of the hill. Uh-huh right right behind me is Razorback Stadium. There is Razorback Stadium right there we can see it. Yes excellent. So there's lots of things you're located right on top of a hill just like Buck Drogke and so you're pretty close to all the sports facilities as well as pretty close to the center of campus still. Yeah and so as you said right up there there's also all the retail like dining places that we looked at with Palm. If you were looking at founders if you looked at the founders video you'd see like all the different food opportunities that are up there. Yeah. Yeah. So we're gonna go ahead and go in and get started. We're gonna look around. Sure sure. So a little bit about Gladstone Ripley. I'll follow you in. Is what a hundred students. Three RAs on duty. Coed. And yeah coed. It has three floors and yeah so this the interesting relationship between Gladstone Ripley and Buchanan Drogke which we told earlier is that they're connected in a lot of ways. Yes quite literally a little bit. So when you come to get your mail you're actually gonna come to Buck Drogke. Right. To get your mail. This office that you see here is not operating and so when you get mail or packages you'll go to Buck Drogke that's where it's all delivered that's where you'll pick it up which is right next door. Which is like I don't know 40 feet 50 feet away from here it's not very far. You hardly have to go outside at all together. Yeah but you do have this lobby space if you want to use that for you know whatever purpose you might have you can watch a little TV do a little people watching even right you can just sit out there and kind of watch people. Learn to everybody that you have questions you're more than welcome to just chime in and ask them. We're gonna try to go through and show all of the residence hall that we can. Yeah I guess we're ready to go downstairs and take a look. Now we said this is predominantly a freshman residence hall right. It's almost 50-50 and I think it's 46 female 54. Oh yeah as far as the gender breaker. Oh yeah but it's mostly freshman. 87% freshman. Right. Okay here we go downstairs and so a lot of this kind of looks a lot like a Buchanan joke like the layout and everything like that so yeah what you're seeing here is kind of a big corridor in the rectangle. There is this sort of central hallway that you kind of walk down. Now it's not being used for anything at the moment so we might actually see some staff members doing ongoing maintenance and everything like that. Looks like there's some people in the kitchen. Oh yeah? Yeah we can go check it out anyway. Come through and do our little live tour. Yeah. We're doing a live tour. It's fine. We're just gonna show off some of the things in the kitchen. How are you? Good. Good. Hello. Hello. Get away there. Thank you. Thank you. What's your name? Okay a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for doing this. So in here they're doing renovations as a matter of fact and so we don't see anything on the walls right now but they'll have carpentry I think put back in there. Some cabinets and shelves. There's the new appliance. Yes the new stove that's coming in. I think this is the new one. It looks like the new one. So and there's a whole apparently people study in here sometimes too. Yeah. This is a pretty quiet place during the day and so it's a good place for people to come to study. Exactly. I know some of the best parties we've ever been to. We end up in the kitchen. More of a homey feel I guess. Right. Hey thank you for letting us say hello. So let's go on here into some of the more common areas. Yes we're down here. You're having too good of a time. Yeah let's check out the laundry. Three washrooms. Sure. Four dryers. You bet. How are you today? Good thank you. Just fine. Good. We're doing a live tour of this hall and do you mind if we catch up for a second? No don't worry. This is cool that we got you. You service our different laundry. With Caldwell Gregory. Yes sir. Okay fantastic. What was your name? Greg. That's right. So we were just talking about laundry alert. Yes. Yeah do you know a little bit about laundry alert too? I know a little bit about it. Okay. Okay. Well you could feel free to chime in as we talk about it if you know something that we don't. Yes sir. So thank you very much. Tell us a little bit about laundry alert. So laundry alert is a system you can pull up on your phone and it'll tell you what washers and dryers are open in here and then it will also tell you when you if you've got a load in there when it's done you can have an email or text alert you so that way you know when your laundry is done and it won't just be sitting there you have to try and time it with your phone. Yeah. It's great for if you're going to class and you want to get your laundry done but you don't want to sit down here and wait for it. It'll text you when it's ready. Sure and you can as you said you could be checked from your computer to see if there's even anything open. Yeah. Like you're in peak times you'll know because there'll be nothing open. Right. So it's really cool. Something to point out too is that there are no coin intakes on any of the laundry facilities because that's covered by the room fee. Not the student fee I said earlier but actually the room fee that you pay whenever you live with us in University housing. Yeah. Anyway. Thank you. We'll move on then to the other area. Sure. Let's look at the other common areas here on the basement floor. The bottom floor. Ping pong room. Yes. That's always fun. Do you play ping pong? I do. Are you good? I am. Are you really? I do say so myself. I'm going to set this up tripod. I'm just going to go right here. I'm not very good at it but air hockey I'm pretty good at it. There are these desks here too which people may remember from classroom days. I'm a left-hander handed person so I have to have a lefty desk but that's okay. So shall we move on into the main programming area? So we have eight people watching us now and feel free again to ask any questions you want. We'll answer them as best we can. So let me kind of get, let me try to get here a better angle so you can kind of see a little bit better. Lots of couches. Big TV right there. Absolutely. Yeah the um we'll take a second to explain kind of CREs and RAs. RAs are going to be usually upperclassmen who live in these residence halls and they do a lot of the directing and programming so the events that happen that sort of stuff. A lot of that comes from the residence assistants. RA means resident assistant. What's that? You get a lot of free food. You get a lot of free food. Live in the halls. That's true and then CREs are professionals who live in the halls as well that help the RA's do their programming and other things. They do. They have an apartment. Anything else we want to show about this room? We can probably just go out that way. Okay yeah sure let's do that because we always want to hit the highlights of male and laundry and bathroom. Okay and there's two on the floor is that right? Yes. Two on the floor and here's the showers just to get a sense of what they look like. There's two in here, two stalls in here and then there's two on the other side too. Right so here's the second one. There's two showers. Of course there's two bathrooms on each floor so you actually have four showers on each floor and then the stalls right there and then of course you have your own right there and then sinks. I like this green. This green paneling is doing well. It reminds me of my grandparents had this kind of paneling in their house. It's kind of a soothing green color and then we have of course a mirror right there. Something to note. Fix it. That's our service that you can use if you ever need to get something fixed and maintenance requests. Just turn that in that way. So you want to head on out? Yeah. I think we're going to head down to one of the rooms unless was there anything else we want to look at here? I think that's it. Okay here we are in room 004. Okay so here we are in one of the results and it is very chilly in here. There are air conditioning running keeping it very cool so during the summer you should be when you arrive here in August you should be quite comfortable. Well you've got complete control of it too so even in the winter it should be quite good. You can run it however you want. There's the window outside. You can see as we're actually pointed toward razorback drive. Stadium drive. Okay great so we're in the room. Let me go ahead and finish doing another kind of a 360 here and this is movable furniture which is always a nice thing to be able to move the furniture around. Could you open up that closet so we can let people look? Okay so here you've got a mirrored area right there and you've got space for shoes down there at the bottom as well as what are those called bars I guess? Yeah silver bars. Sure so since I haven't seen any questions yet or anything we'll just kind of maybe read off some of the measurements. Well and then we've commonly gotten the question what size of the mattresses do we get into that one? So the ones here are extra long so they're 80 inches so that is 89 and width 53 inches in height. 89 width 53 in height. We should point out the little you know the the piping here. Be aware of that as a detail in the room. I'm sorry it is a little bit bigger. Okay so a little bigger room than normal and carpet. People asked about carpet before so this carpet's going to be cleaned but there is certainly carpet there. Oh yeah do you mind demonstrating the multi-use chair? Thanks Abby. Okay so you've got a rocking chair that does that and then you've also got kind of a table that you can use for various purposes. Yeah so that is good and we've been asked also yeah actually I was just thinking about that tamala about the lofting beds. Yes these are loftable. Right now I think they're kind of set into you know a certain number of pins they go right there up to 36 inches is that what we had determined before? Yes to the top of this is 36 and then to the very top for bunk what did you say that was? I think 80 when I had to say. Okay but yes they are the way to get them lofted is either you can come with a rubber mallet and knock it in and do it yourself or or you can make a request to our residential facilities and say hey I would like my bed to be lofted. If you do that you just need to go to the housing website home page and find the maintenance request on the left hand side click that and it'll take you to the form and when you fill that out you want to be sure that you note which bed you're in. A or B? A or B and yeah and we we love it people lofted did you get that height? It didn't say on there. I think it was it was 81. Yeah from the floor to the top of mattress. So from the floor to the top of the mattress is 81. This one probably depends on how people will loft it to the top of this and put their fridge and microwave over there or loft it all the way and put their desk and everything under there. Sure so what you can do I guess is you take one that looks a lot like that and you put it on top and it goes all the way up. They're fair it's a two-person job for sure but okay well hope that answers your question are there any other questions or measurements we should take for people? I'll give you a couple seconds to answer in if you have any questions. Dresses right there uh-huh you can stack up just a little pack there I guess okay for stackable and then you can just one person at the top one person gets the bottom if you want more floor space right and then you can also use these as an attachment for the desk if you put the next to your desk so you can have some storage for the desk. Oh yeah sure and then the desks here are two separate desks so when we were at Buchanan Drogh they were one one thing weren't they yeah now they're two different ones so you can move them and do whatever you want with them. Okay well I'm not seeing more questions come in so we're going to go ahead and wrap it up but thank you for joining the tour and this will be posted at the home on the front page of movein.uark.edu when we're done thank you very much bye bye you want to say goodbye?
