 I'm Juliana and we are back at Reed Hall. It's a beautiful place actually. I can already see from this view here. We have the stadium, football stadium here. We also are very close to Maple which we toured yesterday. Yes, there's the stadium right there. Gosh, Maple Hall. That's the place you like to go? Right, right. Parking lot right there. And if anyone has a question as we go through our tour, feel free to ask them as we go. That is the Eply Center and a lot of the health professions have their classes right there. This hall is also named after Mike McKenzie. She worked here I think 17 years and it also is nine stories high so you will have a better view later. We are going to show that view. Yes, nine stories up of everything we're talking about. So it'll be very beautiful. Go ahead and sign. It's kind of hot. I'm hot. Are you hot? Not as bad as it was yesterday but still kind of warm. Thank you. Heading into the, this will be the South entrance. Yes. Okay, you're going to follow us in? Yes. Take security very serious. Okay, we're going to go over and show off this little room over here. We're headed to what we call the blue room. Really? Yes. Why is it called the blue room? The blue room, yes. I hope it's not because people are sad. Right, no, don't want that. And it looks like we have two sort of study areas in here. It's kind of a way to have your own space but not be kind of excluded from everything going on. It's a very beautiful area, nice art here. Plenty of windows too. That's where we just were but we're on the inside now in the air conditioning. Yes, the wonderful air conditioning. I don't know how much light comes from. All right, that thing is huge. It's almost like a tanning light. It's so gigantic. You probably like the entire room. Right. So you got two of these study rooms and then you have this main, bigger area. And do people actually use this? Yes. Oh my gosh, when I came through during regular tons of people studying in here actually and I was very surprised but it's heavily used so we'll get a lot of you set up this area. The blue room. The blue room. Okay, we'll move on fast to the blue room. Okay. Yeah, I think we're going to stop by the main decks and see them. Maybe talk about the mail system a little bit. Yeah. So apparently this place is staffed all the time except for right now because no one's in the building except for us for the most part. But this is the front desk area. That is the north entrance and we came in through the south entrance right here. And through the north entrance there is a bus stop so if you like we talked about yesterday if you don't have a car that is our transit system is an option. The other day I took the transit just from Pomfret down at the bottom of the hill up to here and I was like oh I saved myself so much. Yes, that hill is crazy. Yes, here are water fountains too just so you know. Bring your own plastic bottle. You can fill it right there. Fantastic. Here we have our mail system and everyone's mail is right here so you don't have to go into a different building to find your mail. It's all right here. Just come down the elevator and get your mail. Packages at the front desk I would imagine but smaller mail goes right there. Okay we got some some vending down here. Always good to know about the vending. Yes. And this is only one of two of the kitchen kind of areas so what do we need to fob in there? Yes we need to fob in here. Very secure. Yes. All right we're heading into a room that's right off of the kitchen area area as well. Do you know what this is called? Yes this is called the sun room. I guess we'll come off the kitchenette and eat at the dining table here and then maybe just kind of hang out in large movies as well on the TV and just let them catch us. Lovely. There's a lot of spaces here I'm seeing. A lot of like just sort of spaces to kind of meet and congregate. Nice. It's very nice for all the rest of us. What does that say? Um last often because you're smiling right in everyone's day. All right. Okay. Thank you I got it. Oh and now we are at our kind of a gym area. This is our only residence hall to have this so it's kind of cool. Otherwise you're probably headed to the hyper but let me give you a view of our gym. We've got again we do have the hyper facility which has a full gym that everyone uses and it is pretty full of things you know. We had a question. Kelsey wants to know I'm sorry if I missed your name Kelsey wants to know would you say that Reed is the least centrally located dorm on campus and it is the northern most. I would say so far this away from like things like that but that is also a great thing about it. It is kind of secluded and very quiet and just a nice place to kind of get away from the craziness sometimes. That is school and work and things like that. Yeah and there's more there's more ample parking here too I believe compared to the central part of campus but again when we're talking about distance is really what we're talking about is the difference between five minutes versus ten minutes. I mean over time that does build up but that would be the difference. Elizabeth I'm sorry if you're having a frozen screen we'll keep going and see if that ends up being a problem and if it is chime in and we'll try to do something else. I would say refresh your page. Maybe that'll help. We also have a UAPD substation right next to Reed. We're going to go through here maybe see if he answers. We'll see if he answers. We told him we might come through and say hello and this is right next to come on in. Hey how's it going? Just fine. Yeah okay thanks I'll come in. So you guys are neighbors to Reed Paul and what are some of the services offered through the substation here? Well it's a substation we make it as one young lady summed it up years ago. It's nice to have us here but we're not under foot. Okay so we're here if you need us you bang on the door there might be somebody here or you call our office at 575-2222 there's always a dispatcher there to answer the phone. Fantastic. We're here for your convenience more than anybody. I see your bike right there. I ride bike most of the time we come up here we will be here periodically and we just we're here. Fantastic. What was your name I'm sorry? Officer Meyer. Officer Meyer. Now are you are you in this substation most of the time when you're working? No most of the time we were out and about and then when we do reports we will come up here and do reports up here because it's easier to respond from here than at the main office. Okay and this is just one of two substations that we have which is very unusual because most universities do not have police substations and we've got two of them. Wow. The other one is in the business administration building or the bud-walton school of business and they love us over there they want us over there and we like to be here because we can get you just about any place on campus. Yeah. So if you show up and there's a squirrel outside the door it needs a peanut butter cracker. Oh okay insider tip peanut butter cracker for the squirrels all right. Hey thank you so much we're glad to have you here. We're glad to be here what can I say. Thanks a lot thanks a lot we're going to continue our tour of Reed. Let's see we were going to go back down and look at is it laundry that we're looking at now look at the rooms on the other side. Oh yeah okay oh right the full kitchen room she'll be sorry if it's not loading if that problem continues maybe we'll try to refresh. That's a alternative entrance to the front desk area okay all right so this is the combined living room area yeah very nice that's a nice size tv yeah and it's really nice furniture it's very comfy and like yeah it feels got a bistro in here like uh like you could really chill out for a while um and then I guess we'll head on through to the kitchen see I see a pancake kind of grill here as well so um assuming there's a lot of meetings in here and food right um oh yeah so full kitchen now do you were you someone when you lived on campus where did you live I lived in maple um I did not cook as much um when I lived in maple but now that I live off campus cooking is a big part of my life um I also know that housing has a Pinterest page where you can go find recipes or you know you want to decorate they also have a board for that we do it's at uark housing so pinterest.com forward slash uark housing um when you went to go eat you went to fulbright would that be the right one yes mainly fulbright uh and okay so it'd be kind of like fulbright for maybe breakfast or lunch and then if I got caught in the middle of campus I might eat it rough and okay at night it could be hill grill or it could be fulbright again it's just kind of how your schedule pans out but yeah I can I can see that so typically in the morning you'll probably eat where you are residentially located so if you're in palm fruit palm fruit in the morning but then in class time you're usually in the center part of campus that's why broth gets so hammered which we found out earlier gets hammered around 11 30 yeah so let's um continue looking at this area and then step outside for a second apparently there's a little area there um Hannah you can bring your own stuff but then there's also some stuff to check out if you want yes um Angie I don't believe there are any restrictions with using the kitchen um I think you can use it pretty freely there might be some of the halls they prefer that you tell them if you're going to use it or you try to reserve it but um further than oh oh we did a security violation so we're outside now looking at this patio area uh Calcia um what is the nearest dining hall to read it's going to be fulbright dining where uh Juliana used to eat yes you bet okay let's head back inside okay if we can get back inside that's why we need three of us at all times right we're gonna lock ourselves out during live tours okay yeah let's head back um I think we're gonna look at the laundry yes just right down yeah just so you know first floor is mostly offices and meeting areas and all that sort of thing it's a rectangle it's one big rectangle as far as I know there are no bedrooms uh for residents the elevator will come back to that yes we'll be going upstairs to look at a room we're going to go up to the ninth floor so if anybody listening is has a room in the ninth floor we might be able to go to your room yes okay and this is also our trash right here put your trash and recyclables there yes okay there we are yeah and ice too some people had asked earlier about the ice machine here's the ice machine so let's um let's look at this and then we'll step out because it's kind of loud in here a little bit loud but you have I don't know there's what how many people live here uh approximately 500 live here so and then we have like one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve is that right twelve washing machines yes so yeah let's tell me about about uh laundry alert which is coming this fall oh right uh so laundry alert is basically kind of a website that you can download to your phone uh so whenever you put your laundry into a washer it'll kind of alert you when it's done so you don't have to check yourself um ruler you and you can come down and get your laundry um you know it kind of eliminates the running up and downstairs and having an extra wait time uh so yeah it's super convenient that way and anyone can use it to stay yeah so um you can you can look online as she was saying you can look online you can see which ones are open yes and uh yeah we think it'll be a good service we'll use it uh we didn't have some requests on the ninth floor rooms um Lexi I'm sorry we can't go to the fifth floor I apologize on the ninth floor would you mind uh noting this um rooms 909 and 920 uh Shelby and Abby had asked us to do that and then Beth asked us are there trash shoots from the different floors to the trash room or doesn't need to be carried down are there shoots in this building the way moments sound on her video they need to bring the trash down here but we can double check that yeah I'm thinking that you need to bring it down but let's let well we get up to the ninth floor we'll look and see if there's a trash shoot there either way I'll try to follow up in the replies of this thread to make sure you get that question answered okay let's head upstairs what's there's anything else in the first floor no Grace asked if we can go to 912 we'll see we'll see Grace we've got two rooms already so we'll see huh yeah I didn't know there were going to be some people who who were living on ninth floor watching that's kind of cool welcome to 940 yeah we're about to head up there um hey could you write 912 down just in case too maybe we can pop in for a quick second a hot moment in the 912 and this is actually a pretty fast elevator so you don't have to worry about that yeah yeah I think you guys are going to like this view I think it'll be real fun of it where's everybody uh from anybody want to mention a state where you might be from how big is the elevator hi you know Dana asked how big the elevator is it's it's pretty sizable we can jump out and see I mean it's uh it's ample for a lot of people okay so which room which uh we're going to the bathroom first so we're going to do the yeah yeah all right of course in every corner on this floor so every floor has a study room area and my understanding of these sort of you know traditional style residence halls is a lot of times people kind of identify with their floor as much as they do with their building yes um definitely people always associate with their floor uh or if when I toured people kind of were like uh yeah go go find Jess she's on the eighth floor and you know just kind of that's kind of where you're from it's right I'm from I'm from the 940 yeah uh hey lexie hello to st louis and uh Shelby yeah wait you're from are you from st louis that's right yeah so jillianna's from st louis too she says go cards uh shelby's from texas so yeah Elizabeth asked are all the elevators available for move-in um I think mostly they're available for move-in I believe so okay only for going out not for going down that's the one consideration okay yeah okay do I look in the bathroom before I look at the rooms let's look in the bathroom before we look at the rooms yeah let's do that lexie asks oh my god what's cool you don't have to say if you don't want to but if you if you're comfortable you can say oh well that it's a it's a long story I might come back into the right okay there you go there you go all right so we're in the bathroom area which is kind of a breezeway yes here between one half which is um the this is sort of the main you know bathroom area yes and I'll just step in here for a moment you've got what let's see one two three four five sinks and then of course the stalls and over here we have the showers it's kind of like a yeah let's get an area and then a shower which I find very interesting so you have the the area where you kind of walk into and sit down and then you have this area I don't know if there's a light in here is there a light okay I'm sure there is oh okay there's a shower head anyway and you have what five of these is that right five of those okay great so shall we go check out rooms 920 is to your right okay thank you gonna see 920 go see 920 for let's see for abbey oh wow yeah why don't you uh do you mind pulling up the window we'll give her a full view there you can see the razorback stadium right there and that was uh so we're kind of facing in the direction we were when we uh first came in and then is that old main that is old main right there so you can kind of see old main so this would be all the rooms are going to be generally like this except for the room at the end of the hallway is that right okay great so um let's go ahead and answer a question that came in early if we can from dawn yes dawn asked us to please take some measurements of the bed and the bed frame because making a headboard and want to uh I think that's really cool doing some uh dad's doing some carpentry you know make it look real nice yeah dawn the uh details of the spring frame are included in the resin cell handbook on our website and um so you can see what the what the end hooks look like um the end hooks hook into little bars that run across the inside of the frames right there's a steel rail there that the bars fit into um show me I think you can loft them as high as you want which is I believe 81 inches is the is the top height yeah I think these might be a little bit shorter because a little bit shorter we don't we don't have a little bit shorter let's say between 72 and 81 um figure that out but yeah if you bring a rubber mallet you should be able to um do them yourself during the move-in process but you can also submit a uh fix it slash maintenance request on the web page and ask them to and they'll do it for you um yeah so calculations don um the width okay just measure that camera I believe right right um does she want a height specific to I don't know how if you could maybe get from the center of this rail to the center of this rail here that'll kind of give you the the width of the uh frame just under 39 inches 39 inches width there and when we talked about the headboard I think maybe she meant that right there that's I think that's what she meant don't you think the bolton board the headboard I think it's probably let's let's get it just in case 24 36 inches 36 inches so cut for the width so let's take a moment and I need to go over some of these questions that are coming in uh because yeah the view is super pretty I appreciate you uh noticing that too we love being up here um show me we tried to answer your question about the uh uh loft beds hopefully we gave you enough enough of an answer there if not we'll try to get more yeah shall be what you see here is half of the frame you can get another part of the frame to raise it up higher mm-hmm so we twice the width this it's actually if you measure that twice the width um say if you want to we'll need that for don also Angie asks about um are these regular 34 and a half inches 34 and a half inches high um question came in uh from Angie are these regular twin beds or XL twin beds that's in our little cheat sheet and regular is 70 75 75 okay 75 by 36 okay um and then Lexi asks can we get those court boards unbolted by any chance I was putting and covering them with fabric I do not think they unbolted uh but you're welcome to kind of you know decorate them in whichever way you want um Hannah asks could you please measure the second shelf please and uh I think we're talking about yeah so let's get let's get the height from the from the table so to the bottom is how much 24 inches and then the width there 40 inches okay so it's you said 24 was the first measurement okay 24 from the the the uh the the height the height the there yes and the interior measurement 38 and a quarter okay um yeah okay so 38 and a quarter width right is that what we're saying on the inside okay on the inside gotcha hopefully Hannah they answered your question if not let us know Dana asks um how thick are the mattresses and I'll just go and say not especially thick so you know uh you can measure it if you don't mind but we do recommend that you get a a topper of some sort six and a half inches okay so half a foot um seven inches okay and then Abby asks how do you attach a headboard um I guess if you weren't going to loft it maybe or right so basically like height at this uh length or height or something against the back of the wall okay look like it's a part of the bed gotcha right so you'd have to find a way you basically you would cover over that thing right there right you'd cover over the board yeah the way to get the frame off is to pull up on here now that's why you need a mallet it's a two-person job you tap it underneath you tap it underneath loosen it up and then there are two hooks here that fit into the pins that run inside so you just set the frame to whatever pin like a height you want and set the hooks into the pins and let it drop down and you're good to go okay okay um got a couple more questions coming in uh grace asks uh did you say we can lift our bed the day we move in or do we have to notify before that we will be lifting you can do it yourself you can do that yourself um you have the option of asking us to do it for you but you can do it yourself uh Stephanie asks do the the desk drawers lock and I don't believe they do no they do not so to be clear about that and then Angie asked if you loft the bed the full height is there is there still room to sit up straight on the bed so if you go as high as possible could you actually sit up straight on there I I mean I think it depends on how big your torso is but generally I'd say probably not probably not probably not so you can you can fit your desk underneath you can't the bed um can we get a measurement from the floor to the top of the desk so that way they kind of know how high it is 54 and a half 54 and a half from the floor to the very top of that shelf um Dana asks where can you put a refrigerator and uh you know generally anywhere let me get a full 360 of this room I don't think I've done that yet give people a view so there's closets right there there's two of them then you have this nice chest of drawers which there are two of them there and then a mirror right there another drawer right there um so where can you put a refrigerator you know a lot of different places some people put it underneath their lofted bed did you do that yes I think that's the best option when you think of space but um I think we need to link your your dorm tour where you talked about how you decorated your own room I could link that as well yeah let's do that that's been very useful for people um moving on uh Hannah uh I mean to the desk says of the closet so let me look at her earlier question could you measure the second shelf please of the closet now I got it together thank you Hannah well second shelf of the closet yeah so there's nine there's nine inches between the first and the second yeah you're pretty close there here I can hold to sure so we're going from the inside yeah 46 and a quarter from the inside so okay a gray thank you and um let's see shall be asked what is the height of the shelves above the closet and the one above the mirrors if you can reach it thanks okay what is the height of shelves above the closet and the one above the mirror okay 21 okay 21 from there the height of the shelves above the closet and above the mirror got it that's a hard one uh let's see if I can let me see if I can help at all okay we're going right there well we're gonna go yeah right there so what do we got 17 about 17 about 17 okay hopefully that helps um so let's see um okay and Meg asks are there are the rods on the back of the doors where you can hang the towels yes yes there are there are there are those there yes uh Alex asks can you measure the shelf above the mirror if it's not too much high to reach do we do that did we do that okay um Angie asks if you reposition the bed closest to the door to align with the longest wall can you put the desk by the door well how it would thinking that would be the closest door yeah I think I think that would be enough space to do that I guess if this thing came out and went against this wall and then this went up over there I think they would fit I think they way I can't yeah you have to mess with that configuration which you get here but it looks just eyeballing it it looks like it would work um Kelsey how many outlets are there in the room and where are they there are there's two right here on each side let's see I don't see one right there so there's at least four at least four oh no then there's another one right here isn't that one could be used and you're welcome to use power strips and bring those in too yeah we recommend you bringing power strips um Angie asks what the full measurement of the desk is I believe we have it in our notes so and there were two other rooms you're going to look at is that right Kent there are one other room at least we can look at the edge over and then I think we can look at the north side okay okay where the dimensions this says the not the bookshelves the desks yes so the full measurements of the desks are 23 21 33 and where we're taking that from is the uh housing web page under campus communities and then read hall do you see that better um let's see so Abby asked is there any room for a full length mirror I think it depends on how you use this space right here I think if these things came out you could certainly open it up for more um you could put you could potentially well but you'd lose all that closet space right there that's true maybe right there possibly yeah I think it does kind of just depend on how you move things around because of yeah because with this here it kind of makes it you know hard to have a full mirror and everything sure yeah it just depends on how you decorate and move things around okay okay um well we're going to continue to move to some other rooms they all kind of have the same furniture though just so you're aware of that so if there's measurements that you still need um Lexi asked does every door have those bars behind it let's see Kelsey asked which which is bed a versus bed b we think in terms of window and door but and this question's come up and I need to get a good answer I'll get a good answer just give me a little bit so I can figure out I think A and B might be who chooses it first I'm not sure let me check and find out let me check and find out Kelsey um okay so which room are we going to by request oh 923 to see an in room okay so here's an in room this is another example of how we do these it's a little bit bigger it's a little bigger there's I guess two of these on each floor yes and there's more space for a floor length mirror here and the mirror is split into two so you can have your own private space here the view is different as well yeah you don't really see you don't really get the same lovely view here it's a little different a little different view okay let's head on in thank you and we've got that was room 923 okay now we have one more request for a room to see 909 I believe yep Angie says it's nice uh that each floor has a full length mirror beside every elevator yeah so we do have those meet we do have those yeah on every floor good good point out thank you Angie request also to see 912 okay this is 912 right here okay so we'll pop in a 912 real quick it's exactly like the room we just saw except reversed and again with a great view there's the bed great here we are that's 912 that is 912 she's waiting for you your room 912 okay all right we got a question from Angie about the room temperatures and how they're regulated is this one where there's a thermostat there's a thermostat okay you're welcome grace our pleasure which room was this I'm sorry 909 let me get the shot room 909 here we are and right here is the thermostat it feels very good in here so yeah and then you adjust it just right here I think yeah now this is a corner room yes there's a legend that these rooms are a couple inches wider I'm not sure if that's entirely true but it's not enough to make any huge difference okay sorry about the exact exactly the same as the rest of the room so again same layout all together yeah it's just sometimes it's flipped as to where this is um Kelsey asked how many floors out there there are nine floors in Reed well let's take a moment and take the last few questions and then go ahead and sign off were there any other rooms on the ninth floor we were supposed to look at let me make sure there's the ones I have okay thank you Kent for writing those those numbers down okay well everyone we're excited to have you coming oh okay here's some more questions Abigail asks how tall can the beds be lofted again I think it's uh twice the height of that they are now about 68 you're saying yeah these are around 34 inches okay so step on one on top of the other would be around 68 okay the bars go all the way up to the top right within a couple inches at the top so about 68 inches um and Angie is am I correct that there are two bathrooms on each floor it's actually as I see I mean there there are there but there's one breezeway it's just you have one side that's one side that's showers and one side that's bathroom right or do you have two of those in each no there's just one on each side okay one on each side so yes um Stephanie asks are there rules for guest times maybe I think well Reed might have some different rules that would be in our student handbook okay yeah handbook would have a detailed breakdown with reading included sure I guess must be escorted at all times that's revolve that's a revolver exactly but for the visitation we have to look that right I'm not sure if there are read specific visitation go ahead what I'm just saying I personally whenever I would visit friends and read I never had a problem with like the time that I came so um yeah I would just suggest looking that up I never had a problem but that doesn't mean you might so yeah and Ken's referring to the handbook that's located on the housing.ur.edu webpage you'll see the 1516 version 1617 is coming out soon you probably won't see any changes when it relates to read visitation that's been the same forever so you can rely on 1516 for what's going to be your experience Lexi asks want to tell me your high school but we'll let you address that offline that being the case thank you so much oh one more and yes can the desk chair be removed and replace the personal chair we don't recommend that you remove any furniture but we do you know the furniture has to be here at the end of the year when you check out it needs to stay in the room so yeah can you show them what the what the chair does so this chair has kind of a trick to it I think it's on the back I maybe Ken can show you okay so it comes off and becomes a table and kind of a rocking chair yeah in particular the carpet here it's actually pretty comfortable they say it's great for gaming if you're into gaming so sitting there playing game um and then Molly asks where is a space that would work for a tv I generally think yeah this is kind of like the cable stuff anyway right so people kind of just put it like either in a corner or just front and center they do they do and I'll mention that we're having some upgrades to our cable system this year it's moving from an analog signal to a digital signal so you'll have like a guide on your tv you'll have three different hbo's now too all that is paid for with your room fees so nothing extra no extra cost for that and here's your sort of your hookup area for that sort of thing yeah okay um uh trecula asks uh how big is the seat of the chairs and inches you know why not we'll give her the the widest spot there 19 inches okay how deep is it 19 by 21 and a half okay hey thank you for all these fantastic questions we really appreciate it we're gonna go ahead and sign off now and uh we can't wait to see you this this this fall thank you for joining us see you guys this fall bye
