 Good afternoon everyone, my name is Anna Kay and today I'm going to be giving a tour of Humphreys Hall. Before we get started I'd like to point out Emily behind the camera. So go ahead and say hi to Emily. Hi everyone, my name is Emily. I'm a marketing intern with the University of Housing. And tell us where you're tuning in from. Alright, so with that I just kind of want to point out a couple of key places where we're at right now. So we're on the Humphreys North patio right now. So kind of behind Emily we have Gregson Hall, 1021 Food Hall, and then to the right we have Founders. And then kind of through this little breezeway area over there is Kimple Hall. But with that we'll head inside. So as we head inside you're going to get the CRE or the Coordinator of the Residence Education. This is Sahala, her producer. This will be my third year in the building and I can't wait to meet y'all. Alright, so kind of with that this is the main general entrance area for Humphreys. Right over here we have the front desk area. So during the day that will be housed by a Hull Admin and then after hours there will always be an aria at the front desk to help you come and check out and walk out to help me call the RNG meetings like that. Really quickly we're going to walk up here and show you the South patio as well. Look at the South patio. So from here you can see Yokem right over there. These two towers are often coming up. We have some picnic tables, some benches. And then over here we're actually right across from the Walton College of Business right now. So that's super convenient location-wise. You're right in the center of campus, very close to everything. So super nice. And the parking lot is going to be used during move-in. They'll be coming up. Where will they be coming in? Sit back to the parking lot. So you'll park your car, come get your keys right on the patio here. And then we do have a dolly ramp on the side of the building. So if you have anything super heavy that you're bringing in, we do have a way for you to get in the building without going up on stairs. We do have elevators in this building too. Yes, we do have elevators in this building too. I've seen a couple of times I have a fob on this key ring. So this is kind of security measure that we have for the building. You just hold up your fob to the box and it opens. And that's just so that only residents that live in the building have access to the building. So that's super... What does it call again? Humphreys Cafe. Yes, I do want to mention about the office that both Humphreys and Founders mail comes here. So if you live in Founders too, you'll also get your mail and packages at Humphreys. So like some are said, you'll pick up packages at the front desk. But these are the Humphreys mailboxes. So if you're living in Humphreys, this is where any of you like your letter mail will be. There are cards, things like that. I don't know how many of you can take it this way. We have Summer's office. So if you ever need her during the day, she'll be right there. We have a little study room, conference room area. Each Humphreys is... We have this little room called the Camel Cafe. I don't know if you want to explain the association with camels, but feel free. So Humphreys has unofficially adopted the camel as our mascot. I don't know exactly where it started from. It could be Humphreys. It could just be that we're at the top of the hill. But we do lovingly associate a lot of our traditions with camels. So my staff has, past year, created this space, kind of transformed the study room into a very cozy and baby place to still study but just hang out. So yeah, a lot of the residents really seem to enjoy it. The RA staff really enjoyed it. And then a bunch of the artwork and stuff in here was either donated or made by residents for this space. Yeah, super cool and unique to this building. Did you mention the 60th birthday already? I have not. But this year, Humphreys will be celebrating its 60th birthday. It was opened in 1961. So yeah, we will be celebrating that this year. I'm just really enjoying the history of this building. So right now we're entering the Humphreys Great Room. This is kind of the main common area. If you want to do a 360, kind of show them everything. There's lots of seating and TVs and ping-pong table, pool table. And then there's also piano kind of over back in that corner. And then these mailboxes right here are, like Summer said, the founder's mail is also received here. So if you live in families, this is where your mailbox will be. If you live in Humphreys, don't get confused and think these are your mailboxes and your mailboxes were the first ones we showed. So yeah, this is kind of the Great Room. We can just kind of walk around, let you see everything. Is there any programming that you do particularly in this area? Yeah. We'll send information on our larger scale programs in this space just because it is such a huge space. But also like informal things like ping-pong or pool. If you want to rent out any of that equipment, we do have it at the front desk at least right now. So if that's more your jam, then we totally have that for you. I know there have been some very competitive ping-pong tournaments that have happened in the past year. So I'm excited to see if anyone is super skilled in that area. Do you compete? No, I am not. I feel like we gifted it all. So if it's against me, you will win, guaranteed. Right. And then as we come out of these other doors, we have the Great Room. Right after the Great Room, there's a kitchen area. So there's a community fridge where you can store things if they don't fit in a mini-fridge or if you don't have a mini-fridge. But it is a community fridge, so be mindful of that. There's a stove, a microwave, kind of a little seating area. So it's just a really great community space to be able to come down with your friends and make cookies and hang out and eat and cook a meal together. So that's a super, super nice luxury that the Great House has. So now I think we're right upstairs. Downstairs. Downstairs. Forgot about the downstairs. There's a big basement right down there. Downstairs will show you laundry first. So if you come by these bulletin boards, to the right is the laundry room. This is where all the washers and dryers are. This is ice fishing back there. So the University of Arkansas has this really cool app called a laundry alert where you can download it to your phone. And then if you're on the ninth floor, you can check the app to see which washers and dryers are available before you come down here. So that way you're not lugging all your clothes when there are no laundry services available at that moment. And then we also have this thing where you can scan a QR code on the washing machines and report any maintenance issues with the washers and dryers so that we can get those fixed properly. But yeah, this is the laundry room. And what year are you? I will be a senior. Senior? Yes. What did you study? I am a history and French double major. Okay. Okay, so right here we have vending machines. So there's just a couple of vending machines and then some snacks. All of the vending machines in Humphrey's take cash and then also credit cards as well. And I think they do the wireless pay as well. So yeah, that's super nice. Super nice to have if you need a midnight snack or something or if you go get food. That's there for you. And then we have kind of a recycling station here. So anytime you need to do any recycling, there are cans on the floors, I believe. But you know, those are for if you're just in the lobby. These are for you as well. And then this is kind of the, it's called the Humphrey's classroom space. So it's just like a large meeting room. If you have joined Lead Hogs, you'll have Lead Hogs meetings here. But yeah, this is just kind of another little gathering space slash study space slash area to hang out I guess. Do you have anything to add about the classroom? We do use it like you're saying for Lead Hogs as well as staff meetings. But if you are interested in reserving this space and some of our other community spaces, that is an option as well. We just have that form on Hogs Inc. So if you need to like have a hardcore study session with a group of friends or you have a group that wants to meet, you can totally reserve this space so that it'll be just for you. And what is Lead Hogs? Have we told them what Lead Hogs is? So Lead Hogs is one of our housing student leadership groups. They meet every Monday from 6 to about 7.15. We do all kinds of leadership development, different activities. They also help during move-in. They get to move in early. But it's really just this awesome program that's year round. And you really just get to bond with the community in your building. Very nice. Head upstairs. Can we go into the water bottle? Or we can do that on the floor. Say, only what did you study? I study communication and with a minor in journalism. But I started out as a biology major actually. So how did that transition happen? I realized that chemistry was not the move. We are getting into the elevator, so we made Lead's connection bear with us. But I realized chemistry was not the move. And sciences like that were just too difficult. So I decided to go with communication and journalism. And I love it, so it was a great choice. Excellent, excellent stuff. And then you had a transition as well, is that right? Or you're still sticking with your major, but... Yeah, so I'm sticking with my undergrad major because I didn't realize soon enough to be able to change it. But I've decided that I want to go into kind of student affairs and higher education. So I'm going to go to grad school for communications. Very cool. We got a comment. Someone said, I hear this hall is haunted. Can you respond to that? It's not haunted. Despite being 60 years old, I promise it's not haunted. Someone said the connection was spotty. We were in the elevator, so let us know if it's better now. We didn't say anything super important. Yeah, it wasn't important. And we will post all this on YouTube and Instagram after it's done as well. Yeah, so first up we have these cool water bottle filler stations on every floor. They're great for reusable bottles or reusable cups. Super convenient that way you don't have to, you know, keep water bottles in your room or anything like that. And these are... These are standi-upy things. Yes, the standi-upy thing. But those are on every floor. And then do you want to talk about the trash shoe? Sure. A trash shoe on every floor. We just ask that anything you throw down the trash shoe is bagged and it's only like your personal trash. So if there's anything that doesn't fit down the trash shoe, please bring it downstairs to the basement. There is a trash room down there. Or dispose of it otherwise. We just want to make sure that anything in there is bagged. So it's not a craziness and we have to take it all up. Alright. So now we're heading into more of the, like, resident part of the floor where people live and shower and things like that. But first we're going to stop in a bathroom and kind of check that out. So Humphreys is a community style dorm. Which means there are no private bathrooms. So all the bathroom spaces are shared. In Humphreys there are four on every floor. So you'll share it with maybe 10 or 12 other people. Yeah. So over here we have two kind of toilet spaces. I won't show you because I feel like you know what those should look like. And then on this side there are two showers. They can have curtains to separate them. So more sinks in every bathroom as well. And so now we'll head into the room. This one right here. Yes. That sounds perfect. We're in room 925. So if you're in room 925, this is your lucky day. This will be your room. So one of the cool things about Humphreys is it has great views. They're absolutely beautiful. This side in particular has a great view of the stadium and kind of the rest of campus. But yeah. All of the cherry colored light comes with the room. Which I guess is just the beds in these rooms. And then everything else is built in and not really movable. One thing I love in Humphreys for a while and one thing I love about Humphreys is the built-ins. There's lots of storage and drawers and it's just super nice. Feel free to ask any questions. Do you have any measurements or any specifics in the room? Why don't you give us the length and the width of that if you don't mind. I'll use my hand help. So the length of the desk is 84 inches. This is 24 inches. So from here to that wall. That's a common one and this is another common one to ask about. So length was at 70 inches. Depth was it's 25 inches. I'm going to go ahead and measure this because this would also feel important to them. And then from counter to like the top of this is 36 inches. Someone asked how deep is the closet? Yeah. Oh, do you mind? Nope, yeah. So it's about 26 inches. And Mandy asks if I want to raise my bed and fill out a fix it form, what do I specifically ask for if I have something 35 inches high under my bed or under the bed? I would say you want a request that's lifted at least say 36 inches. If not a little bit higher. So you'll want whatever you do you know the height of the thing you want to put in there. I would say requested it goes higher than that. These go every three inches so they'll find something about that. Do you want to show the detail on those? So each of these pegs is three inches. And someone asked can you give dimensions of the drawers? There are several types of drawers that we can just do all of them. The top one and the middle one. So these bigger ones are I guess like this way? I don't geometry. Sorry. Because technically that's the width, that's the length, that's the height. And then the length is 31 inches. If you get the height you can come from right here on the lip. I guess the depth of the drawer is 9 inches. So all three of these are the same. All the opposite side are the same. Those would be different. They should be around the same length. The length of these is 22 inches. The width of them is 14 inches. And then the top drawers, I can't really get a good measurement on them. But I would say no more than three or four inches deep. They're very shallow drawers on the top. Same for kind of over here. They are 20 inches long, 12 inches wide. And then once again no more than three or four inches deep. And then these are a little bit deeper. I feel like they should be the same. 20 by 12 and then... We can make it so that it only measures from the very top. Now it's only measuring from the top. So that's about five inches deep. So a little bit less shallow than the top. Holly asks, if the bed is partially raised, how much space is available for storage? So we kind of talked about that a little bit. You are able to loft the beds as high or as low as you want them. So in theory they could go all the way to up here. Or you could even put them lower than this. I don't really want them any lower than that. They'd be very close to the ground. So it's kind of customizable if you have something you want under your bed. You can always loft it when you get here and see how high you want to make it. Lofting the beds is relatively easy if you have one other person with you. We give out mallets that move in that make it easier to loft. Let's point out that stabilizer bar. Is that something that will need to be there if you go up to the higher? So also these stabilizer bars are part of the beds. Like Christopher said, if you loft it all the way, the stabilizer bar would need to move from the top to the bottom of the bed. That's just a safety measure so that the bed doesn't fall in on itself. But those make it very safe. Especially if you want to loft it all the way up. Also with lofting it all the way up, you can ask to have basically a guard rail put up just to make sure you don't roll out of bed when it's all the way up. And then we do ask whenever you move out, hopefully all the way at the end of May, that your bed is returned to its original height. So kind of the height these are right now. It has to be exactly the same when you move out. Avari asks, do you have to request to get the bed moved up or can you do it yourself? You can do it yourself, but you can also request if you feel like on move-in day, you're not going to have the manpower to be able to move it up. But yeah, so if you do want to request it, we kind of mentioned it earlier, fixit.urf.edu, or you can just search uark fixit and Google and it'll pop up. You just put in a request, tell them like your room number, your name, they might ask for your ID, your email, and then tell them what you want, how high you want it lofted and then they'll get it fixed for you. Mandy asks, what is the measurement from the floor to the windowsill? Or you can do it from the windowsill down, yeah. So from like the top of the ledge down is 36 inches. Bella asks, what's the measurement from wall to wall? From this wall or from the window to the wall? Or from, I'll just do them all. Okay, so this way 38 inches. And then I don't know if this is close to the door, yeah. Probably the best way. From the edge of the window ledge to the door is 166. And then like the size of the window ledge. Yeah, that's the next Abby asks, how deep is the window ledge? The window ledge is 16 inches deep. Alright, well we're currently caught up on questions. Do you have anything to say to the incoming class and any advice to give them? Yeah, so my kind of biggest piece of advice for you know moving in and getting settled is I know you've probably been buying some stuff for your dorm but my biggest piece of advice and something that I wish I could follow is that to wait until you get into your room to buy all your like beautiful decorations and all of your things. Because A, it makes moving in a lot easier because you have less to carry and move in but also you never know what your space is going to look like and you never know how things are going to fit and how you're going to want to decorate it so it's always a good idea to maybe wait until you get into your space to kind of decide how you want to set it up and decorate it that way you don't have a bunch of things bought beforehand that you end up not using. A few more questions came in. Kelly asks, how deep is the top of the closet in the middle? So those two. Yeah, this middle shelf is 16 deep and then I'll let Chris write the top one with the height jeans. That is 20, 20, almost 21 inches. All right. Mandy asks, can you have the stabilizer bar move down out of sight if you are only raising the bed around 36 inches? The stabilizer bar just to make sure that your bed is stable but if you choose to remove it just for a setting or whatever then that is totally up to you. Again when you move out we just ask that it's returned to its original location. Also if you are worried about it I know lots of people hang lights from them or just kind of wrap things around them so they're not as much of an eyesore that way you stay safe and it's cutely decorated so that's a great quick solution to that. Abby asks, is there a way for you to show us a corner room? Okay, we have another question. Okay, wall there gone, I kind of noticed something. So behind each bed as well is kind of a bulletin board I forgot to mention. They're built into the wall like the shelves and the dresser so that's something that's cool behind the bed if you want to hang up some pictures and decorate it to your liking. Bella asks, how tall is the two shelves in the closet? We can do it. Like from here to here? Probably like from here to here and then from here to there. Okay, the middle shelf is 9 inches high so like here to here, 19 inches. Alright, let's go see the corner room. Which is going to be a mirror image for the most part. We're going to room 923 and it looks the exact same. There's no really big difference. Another thing that we kind of forgot to talk about there is a cable box in every room that allows you to hook up to cable. We use Cox so we have a campus contour provider. One of the cool features about that is you can kind of you download the contour app on your phone and you know tell them you're with the University of Arkansas and then you can watch Cox on your phone anywhere you go and you can also do the same thing on your laptop so just go to University Contour or UR Contour I believe and it's the first link and you just tell University of Arkansas and then you can watch Live To Me for free on your laptop which is pretty cool. I use that pretty frequently but there is a cable hook up as well to hook up with T.E. Do you have any messages for the incoming community that's coming into Humphreys? I think what's really really cool about Humphreys is that we get so many different types of students in this building especially because it is so centrally located that it's kind of a cool place to be because you can really just like walk 10 steps and reach pretty much any part of campus. Not every part but almost every part. So I mean I'm really excited for you all to be here and I think it's just an awesome opportunity being located where we are to get involved to see different things and to really find your place here in Arkansas.
