 Alright, well hello. Welcome to our Gibson Hall tour today. My name is Joey Gimenden. I am the coordinator for residence education over Gibson along with Founders Hall. Basically what that means is I supervise the RAs, advisor lead hogs, I live and work within the residence halls, put on programs to the students and do student conduct as well. So right here is going to be our Gibson Hall that we're going to be showing a tour of for y'all today and we're going to show you what kind of what surrounds the Gibson Hall as well on the outside. So we can start that way first. So over there is Gregson Hall. That's another on-campus storm. It's upperclassmen. That's actually where Gibson Hall residents will pick up their packages. Good thing to note. Good thing to note. I'll go into packages a little bit more about the hours. Right over there is going to be Brough. That is one of our three main dining halls on campus that students can use their meal plans at. Right there we have our Starbucks. We have a Quiznos. We have Slim's Chicken and what was that one place? Where the Wild Greens is. So all those are just placed right there. Another location where students can use their meal plans and stuff like that as well. So we're like we're like downtown University of Arkansas here. This is the central part. This is the central side of campus and it's really convenient location. We have a couple academic buildings over here as well. We have Kimple Hall which is a communication building. We have another one that's a business hall which is right next door. We also have Dixon right down the road. Right. What's Dixon for those who don't know? Yeah. So Dixon is kind of the nightlife or the university and the Fayetteville area. It has a lot of great restaurants and locations and stuff for our students to like to hang out and stuff like that at. It's got a lot of great food options. Definitely recommend Hanuman Trees. Hanuman Trees is one of my favorite places to eat at. It's grilled cheese. Grilled cheese sandwiches. Yeah. It's really good. And then I don't know if you can see it but right down there is also where a Greek theater your Greek theater is at. Typically every year we have our bid day celebrations there. It's also during the year a nice place for students to go to and just chill at the amphitheater and need a space themselves and stuff like that. It's really nice and quiet over there. Nice. Well Joe we have about 12 people tuning in. You can wave to them if you don't mind and let us know where you're watching us from because we always like to know and call it out. And so we're gonna be walking into Gibson Hall right now. How big is Gibson Hall? Yeah. So Gibson Hall we have about 96 residents live in the hall and it's three stories. Okay. Okay. Great. So when you get into the building the first door you're able to enter in and then the second door you're gonna have to use your fob. We'll give you a fob when you check in during moving. Basically what the fob will do is just a security measure. You'll need a put a put it right now there and then read it and you can it will open the door for you. And so that way that one people can get access into Gibson is those residents that live in Gibson Hall. So we have Charlotte from Central Texas, Emily from St. Louis and then Barbara who's watching from New York. Awesome. All around. You're all here watching us so let us know if you have any questions while we're doing the tour. So over here is going to be where our front desk is located. We usually have a RA or student worker working the desk. So that way if you have any questions or need to check out any supplies you can come to the front desk and they can help you out with that. Due to COVID we'll have a limited supplies that you all can check out. But hopefully in the spring you can check out all the items that we have which is the games, we have kitchens, supplies, all sorts of stuff. And what are the do you happen to know the hours of the front desk? So the front desk will be open in Gibson Hall from four to 10 p.m. on weekdays and then noon to midnight or 10 on the weekends. Great, thanks. Yeah and so over here is going to be where you all can pick up your mail. So all like packages and everything we'll go to Gregson which you can pick up your packages in Gregson from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Monday through Wednesday and then from 8 to 4 on Thursdays and Fridays. And then over here like I said you can pick up any mail so if you're having like just typical mail envelopes and stuff like that you can pick it up for the front desk. Okay great packages in Gregson but mail here. Correct yes over here is going to be our laundry room. So there is going to be three washers and four dryers. We also have an ice machine in here and we also have two vending machines. And so this would be the only washer and dryer location along with the vending machines location in the building. Cool, you get a lot of stuff out of the vending machine? I try to limit myself uh snacks. Do you go sweet or savory when you get stuff? I go sweet though when I do. I use the vending machines a lot when I was an undergrad. I try to get a little bit better since then. Gotcha, gotcha. So and then we do have three bathrooms on each hall. We'll show that to you when we go to the second floor. But each a hall has three bathrooms located in the community style along with the water fountain down the hallways. And yeah so you want to go upstairs and check out? Let's go upstairs. You know one of the things Joey that always occurs to me when I come into this particular hall is you know it just feels historic. Like there's an element of this has been around a long time. Yes. Just from the architecture and everything. This is originally Razorback Hall. Razorback Hall. We even have a Razorback located on the top of the building right when you walk in as well. But yes it used to be called Razorback Hall and we named Gipson after a former University of Arkansas housing director. One thing to note behind you right there is where our cycling is at. So if you need to recycle any aluminum cans, newspapers, mixed magazines, plastics, do not have trashes like some of the other halls do have in the floors. So if you do have any trash we'll have a dumpster located right side of the building. Okay yeah. So we're going to go to the second floor. And you know it's a smaller community too and you get that sense of I don't know intimate community with only about a hundred people in hall. This hall really does have a great community every single year. I think the girls in this hall really do a great job of interacting with each other. We have a handful of band students in this hall just because the location of it is a good spot for them. So it's really great and you have upperclassmen and freshmen living in the building which can create some great opportunities for mentorship as well because if you already kind of go through this classes and lived here so. Yeah absolutely it's a really good point you make. Yeah so you want to show what's through the lounge first. For a lounge we have one lounge on each floor. The second floor has our kitchen area. So we have a sink, we have an oven, refrigerator, a microwave and that's all located in the second floor lounge. And like I said each floor will have a lounge. This will just be the only kitchen area. The rest will just have more study spaces uh an area for students to hang out in. Can we open up that window by any chance? I'll open it up at the the blinds and just get a side. I love that nook. It's like a reading nook kind of thing. It really is. We may not be able to. I don't know. It's live live. Here we go. Yeah like you could totally sit here and just read a book. A hundred percent. Or a Kindle or whatever your orientation may be. Yeah this is a lot to hang out in the tall suits on the floors. So I'm over here. You said 226. We're gonna do a bathroom? Yeah we'll do a bathroom first. Because people want to know what kind of shower they're going to be in. Yeah of course. So like I said there's three bathrooms like community bathrooms per floor. There's one in the hallway and there's one in the middle. And so the bathrooms will come with two sinks. You'll have two shower stalls and three toilet stalls. And so you can check out the shower situation. You have your own like the the showers will have its own door attached so it's a little more privacy. You can lock it for vacant or private use. It's like a true hardwood door too. Yes. So there's a good room for them for the showers and everything. And then we will go check out the bedrooms next. Checking out one of the bedrooms. And then this is a great time to ask us if you want us to measure anything for you if you're watching because we're happy to do so. We'll have my graduate assistant Camilla helping us out with any measurements and stuff so. Hello. Welcome to Gibson. I am Camilla and I am the graduate assistant and we are very excited to see you this fall. Fantastic. Okay so here we are. I'm going to go ahead and give a pan of the room and then we'll see if any dimensions come in. How about that? Yeah perfect. And there we are back to you again. Okay. You want to show us the closet? Yes. I want to show you guys the closet as you can see there is a lot of room for everyone to put all their belongings. And Joey can you open up the one above it by any chance? I see that's like extra closet. Closet bonus. A lot of the students will use this for a little bit of like maybe you want to store your seasonal clothing maybe winter clothing when you get here and you don't want to go grab it all back from home or something like that. So it's good about a space if you want to put any boxes or anything like that up there. I would just bring a step stool if you can if you need to. Great. Great. Yeah. Well we haven't got any questions. Oh we did get a question from Charlotte. How long is the top shelf in the closet? I need help her out with that. Will you say how long? Yep how long? Go ahead and get depth too but length would be good. 48 inches. Okay let's go ahead and get the depth too. Just 12 inches. Okay. And Julie asked how much space is above the above the dresser? Let's see. 34. 34 is the length but then you hit kind of some angles up there. 22 depth and then do you mind giving the height from the lowest point to the highest point? No uh from the built-in cabinet to the roof and I can actually see it almost right there. You want to bring it inside? 17. 17 inches in that dimension. But as you can see there's this molding here that you want to be aware of. Okay yeah we're happy to answer that Julie. Let's see how's going to measure the mattress sizes and then if we don't get too many more questions we'll say hey. Welcome to Gibson. 78 inches which is what I think is online. Should be 36 in that dimension. Okay and can you go over and just check the other one? I think it's the same but yeah always good to double check our own little audit here. 78 both sides. Okay. Okay we got the question from Emily. How tall is the underbed space when it's at this height? Which I want to say is either the lowest or one of the lowest? Yeah and that's something. Another thing is if you know you want your bed off the the highest peg that's when you can request. You are a housing website and go through work orders. I should fix it part of the site and you can have it bed off that other highest leg before you can get here. So that might be helpful then moving if you know you want your bed higher. Turn in what's called a fixer request or a maintenance request. If you go to our housing website you'll see an area called services and under services you'll find fix it. Just turn it in and let us know. There's another room that we looked at that had really had them up really really high I think on the corner. Before we sign off we'll go take a quick look at that and you can just see what the other's like. About 18 inches. Okay. Julie asks also how wide and deep is the vanity? I want to say when we say vanity I'm thinking the thing with the mirror right? Yeah. I think she was just asking for width and depth. So yeah just like the tabletop 25 is the depth 32 is the width of that. Yeah thanks for that question. All right well yeah why don't we go take a look at that larger the other way of putting the bed lofted and then we'll just sign out from over there. It's also a chance to see the rooms on the end which are just slightly different. I think one of these would work fine too but then hang right if my memory serves. Yeah this one. Talking about that. No down here where the... I think it was down that way. Oh was it okay? Yeah we'll just double check. That's fine just give us more time to spin together. Yeah. Okay so yeah we'll just find one that's lofted thanks for doing that. Can we peek into 207? Sure is 207 right around here? Right here. Okay here Emily 207. We'll take a quick spin for her. One there you go Emily 207 your room. Yeah just uh I thought I saw something really high. There's one that's really high too though. We can just use this one that'd be fun. Yeah our pleasure Emily no worries. This is kind of a smaller hall so you get to be you know you've got more time for stuff. Yeah okay so I just wanted to show this is an example of fully lofted or very close to fully lofted and I mean you could fit just about anything. Yeah you can fit your desk and the side part of the desk is well underneath there so like I said if that's something you'd like to do and that's something you want to worry about when you move in just get a housing and fix it and we'll do it for you before you get here. My recommendation is you just do if you you know you want to go ahead and do it as soon as you can and give our maintenance team enough time to do it. Absolutely well um how far away are we from moving like a week and a half? Yeah I think the 11th is the first day for moving so we're getting there. Oh one another neat little feature that is unique to this hall is you guys get a little ceiling fan inside you get some hall and eat some bedrooms so that's really nice something I wish I had when I was a an undergrad in my dorm so but yeah we're getting down there for moving and we're excited to have you all come on to campus and make it as best of your make an amazing year for y'all. Absolutely um we did have one last question so this will be our last question that we take um Emily ask what does a single room look like do we have any single rooms? We can show you an RA room that's right next door which is a single room and we have a couple of single rooms throughout the hall. Okay we have one available then that'd be great and I believe our single rooms here do they have two sets of furniture or only one set of furniture? Just one set of furniture. Oh okay wow nice oh no this is the life and so they do get extra closets and stuff so they do get this extra closet the rest of it is just single so they get a lot more space and so this is one of the RA rooms but which is still pretty much just so much of the the singles from the floor. So everything like before except no bed no second bed yeah no second extra furniture yeah. Okay well great well again you were telling us it's going to be a great year and then excited to make it happen um is there one thing you might say to the students who are incoming this year that they should definitely do or keep your mind? Yeah just get to know the some of the residents on your floor get to know your RA they're going to help you make it a great year and you know just you know keep an open mind during this year it's going to be different so just keep an open mind and we'll make it the best experience as we can. Thanks Joe I appreciate you want to wave us out? I'll see y'all in a couple weeks.
