 Welcome to Walton Hall. My name is Summer. I am the Sierra here and we are just going to give you a quick tour of the building today. Behind the camera is Henry. Hey y'all, my name is Henry. I'll be the cameraman for today and I'll be monitoring the chat so if you have any questions I'll be sure to ask Summer then. And also let us know where you're tuning in from like Sydney and State. So Summer, what's first up on the agenda? First up on the agenda is one of our main entrances to Walton and the front desk so these are some of the front doors right here. And then our front desk is here. It's manned pretty much from 4 p.m. to 10 or midnight so there will always be somebody here to ask questions to if you need help or anything like that. But this is also a good spot to talk about mail and packages because all of your packages actually go to Gregson Hall which is just right up the hill. It's a pretty short walk and you'll get a combination. It should be on your housing corner soon and so it will get you into one of these lovely new boxes. Awesome. And then that's a great way to get us to the kitchen too. So this is the community kitchen. It's got a full stove oven, all kinds of kitchen equipment. Most of the kitchen equipment can either be found here or at the front desk for you to check out. And so you're free to bake cookies anytime you want or anything like that. We just ask that you keep this space clean and watch anything that you use. Yeah we can head over to that space now. And where about is Walton located? That's a great question. So Walton is actually right across from the stadium. So you're real close to all football games and are you at facilities and all kinds of fun things like that. This is our green room. We call it that because of the green wall. Very creative. Yes, but this is one of our community spaces so there's lots of ping-pong tables, some space to hang out and study, watch TV. And this is where one of our laundry rooms for Walton is located too. So we'll head in there. Gotcha. There's also a brown room. Do you mind telling us a little bit about the brown room? Yeah so they're currently replacing some of the washers right now. We are going to get a new washers system which we can talk about in a little bit. But the brown room is in the other side of our building. It's another community space. It is mostly brown. Again very creative. But it has definitely more lounge vibes. There's I think a pool table down there, another ping-pong table maybe. Lots of couches so more space to just hang out. Gotcha. And then I can talk a little bit about Speed Queen which is our new laundry app. So they actually started replacing some of the washers and dryers five minutes before we started. But we're going to be using a new app called Speed Queen which there's information about it on our YouTube page, UR Cowsing. And essentially you have two washes and two dries per week that you can use. Starting after that it'll be $1.50 that's for one wash and then it'll be another $1.50 for one dry. And so be sure to download the app. There will be a pin code, a number for you to use to log into your account starting around August 9th. And you can again find out more information about that by going to our YouTube channel. All right so what's up next? All right I believe that's for heading to one of our student rooms. Awesome. So it's a little bit of a walk to get there from this particular location so we can chitchat along the way. Yeah we can get a good view of the stadium when we go outside. Yeah so yeah we have taken our north rooms and added another bed to them. So we're going to go look at what one of those looks like. Yeah and then there's the stadium so super convenient for football games. You're right there less than a minute walk. So Summer you said you're a CRE right? Yes. Could you talk a little bit about what a CRE is, what it stands for and what you do? Yeah it stands for Coordinator for Residence Education. My job are to supervise RAs, advise leahogs and then help students basically transition to campus after any issues they might be experiencing here. So whether that's roommate agreements or there's a facility issue in our room or they need to find the resource on campus. My job is to basically help students find all those things. Awesome. That's the quickest summer I can do in my world. It's a big job, a big job. And fun fact Summer was actually my CRE she was my boss last year when I worked as an RA. Could you also talk about what an RA is? So an RA undergraduate student here at the university they basically help the residents also with resources but also getting them connected to the community you've been. So your RA is kind of like your connector so they're looking for more opportunities and more friends they're really there to help provide that as well if you're experiencing a crisis or an emergency situation they can help navigate to that too. Was that your favorite RA last year? I have no favorites. Oh gosh yeah. Do you have any advice you would give to our incoming freshmen class? This is an advice that I'd be excited to get involved. There are going to be a lot of students here on campus this year. We have the largest class of freshmen which will be definitely different but we're excited about it. I think that it'll just give us an opportunity to connect with a lot more people and just engage with more individuals. But yeah we have some really awesome events during the week, literally the week before school starts. It's just a big week of events so things like chocolate wasted and taste favorable. We have all these kind of different food traps and partners come in and so it's just a really cool opportunity to get started with those connections even before the first day classes. Awesome. Y'all be sure to let us know if you have any questions for summer about Walton Hall in general because now we're about to see a room that was right here. You're keeping you in suspense. It's time to put our new configuration. Yes. All right so I'll do a little overview. There's lights that I missed. Yeah so there's a desk area over here which also has some shelving over here and then here are the beds. And could you explain what a Jack and Jill style room is? Yes. In the room right next door share a bathroom. Gotcha. So in this particular space four of y'all will be sharing that bathroom and there's but there's a door in between so if you need in that privacy it can be used. Gotcha. There's the bedroom, a closet. Yeah so it's not going to be a Jack and Jill bathroom it's just the shower and the toilet. Gotcha and then here's another another closet and then you can get a look at that like the shower in here. It's not set up yet but it looks like that. It will look like that. Yeah and then there's also could you shut the store a little bit. There's some space here for you to put all your toiletries your towels and things like that. But all right y'all be sure to let us know if you have any questions whether it's about Measurements living at Walton and we do have one coming in. Is there a link where we can see all the activities before school starts? So about a week. I don't know the exact link off the top of my hand. It's actually a week.uart.edu. I was going to have you google the same thing. Yeah you would have gotten to the same link. Tell them that you are short handed to google things. Oh just so you type in uart first and then whatever you want. Oh yeah. Another great source to find events is Hoxsink. We are updating it this year but if you search uart Hoxsink it's a really cool page. You just need to set up a profile but it's where a lot of campus activities, different university, residence halls put all their programs so if you're looking for programs or events to go to that's a great place to find it as well. Gotcha. All right our next question is what does the inside of the Armour look like? It's got two drawers on the bottom it looks like. All right our next question is is there only one desk for two boys? Yeah there's light underneath here. We want to take a second desk. I would recommend you know like housing. We might have a few on hand but right now it is and then we will have some of our study spaces and community spaces will have some more study rooms. Gotcha. And so that was kind of the follow-up question talking about putting another student desk is and someone just asked to scan the room again so start over here and then we'll look at the desk again in the kind of pantry area so here's the second bed. Let's put all the lofting too because there are two different beds in here. Yeah yeah so this do you mean just kind of like the height? Yeah this is one where if you want to take it higher I think that's about 36 inches if you want to take it higher you need to make a request for additional piece. This one goes up you know pretty significantly you bounce this and you turn them around and you can go up higher with that. Check movein.urw for the exact dimensions but two different beds which is unusual for us. Gotcha all right and so then here's the desk area again and then the shelves over here. Someone asked are there any shelves in the shower? Yeah so not in the shower itself but in the the bathroom there's some storage space. So here's what the shower looks like and then here's kind of some storage space here so you can put stuff there below up top. So there's two of these pockets. Yeah the other one's kind of hidden behind here behind the door all right. Someone asked about the armor again we can open that up one more time. Next question is measurement of the shower closets. Okay yeah it's very complicated with the total of one button. Just press the red button when you have so like if you want to get the yeah you just let the red light go there and push the button and it'll give you a feet 10 inches. Four feet 10 inches? Four feet yeah and then could you also do the the width? Two feet four inches wide and then you gotta do a long press to start it yep and then a short press. Two feet four inches and then depth just putting it up against there and it should calculate uh itself. One foot four inches all right yeah can you reach it? I can get it. There you go go summer. One feet two inches. One feet two inches. Yeah and y'all yeah all right and if y'all missed any of those measurements we'll be uploading this onto YouTube so you can review them there. All right please provide measurement for the wall where the cable is so this wall right here. Here let me take out this paper that helps to create a boundary. Three feet three inches and then could you also put it on the ground so we could see how what the that's okay. Eight feet nine inches tall. I noticed you get that classic popcorn ceiling right there. That's what I always grew up with with popcorn ceilings. I guess I have the man strips and stuff like that but more of those are on the housing website. No nails. No nails. Nails are bad. You know there's there's a will there's a way. All right how much wall space length is available for a futon. So I guess let's see maybe where where the best place to put a futon is. Probably against this wall I guess. Yeah or if you wanted you could maybe put it underneath the beds if you lofted them higher but as this room is you'd have to request right to get a to get a taller bed frame so maybe against like this wall over here. Yeah this wall here. Seven feet three inches. Gotcha. Someone had a another question so they wanted to clarify so another will a second a second desk is not provided is that correct? Not right now. No I'm not an extra community space in this building. This building has a lot of mix and crannies. So there's some cool spaces to study in your room as well as outside and the building but as well you're just right up the hill from the union. Club Mullens is what five minutes away. Yeah Ballons Library. Ballons Library places. Yeah so there's lots of places to study nearby as well. Gotcha. Are the common areas in woolen also being used for bedrooms? No some cranny study spaces are all just being used to study spaces or hang out places or play ping pong stuff like that. Gotcha. If you selected a suite mate how come that person was not paired with you in the same room? You'll need to follow up by calling housing or using housing at your venue. Do we have that number? Yeah I have that number somewhere on there. If it's something personal like that like you know one specific situation then you're really better off calling us here. Yeah it's at the top. If you can't read my handwriting let me know. Yeah call at 575-4687 and they can probably you know sort you out for something very specific like that. And the email if they wanted to email it's housing at york.edu. Correct. Gotcha. Are there four towel hooks in the bathroom or just two? I think there may be three. We'll see. So there's this here and then there's another one on that side. So sort of three. I mean I guess you could maybe maybe put one right here. Yeah Yeah. So three potentially potentially four. There is this additional closet here too so you can have some space there. What is the measurement to put a futon under the bed? So I guess maybe measuring the bed frame would be the best option I'd say. I can put my hand over here or do you put your hand back. There you go. Seven feet and then measuring the width of it. Okay so three feet by seven feet and so obviously you would need to get a taller bed frame so you'd have to request that through fix it. Yeah the second piece that needs to be added to this to take it out further. Gotcha. Gotcha. Next question is can the bathroom doors be locked from both sides? Yeah the lock is right here. So you can lock it from this side so that way no one could get into your room from the bathroom but the other side of the door doesn't have a lock sign. Yeah so it's on the resident side so just make sure that you don't lock yourself out of the bathroom but the lock is on the other side so that shouldn't happen. Gotcha. Are both beds twin excel? Um they should be. I'm not in touch here so let's measure. Yes. If you don't mind giving me a piece of paper on that side. A hand even. I'll lend you a hand. I'm glad you left some. Six feet five inches on half. It should be between 75 and 80. Let me try that. Let me try one more. Do you think I should use a piece of paper Amy? Yeah my hand was not good enough. Let me give you the strip inches here. 76 inches so this would be not the 80 but the 76, 75 and then here probably similar that is 76, 77. So both of these are going to be in that above 75 but below 80 which I think twin excel would have it. Yeah and I know from personal experience like if you use twin excel sheets for a bed that's not technically a twin excel you have a little bit extra but it's still it's still comfortable. Absolutely. Next question is the measurement underneath the bed not counting the footboard and headboard. So I guess the footboard and headboard but there's not necessarily a footboard. And I'm going to give you just inches this time around 79, 79 and a half inches. Okay and they also said the measurement underneath the bed. That is 35 slightly over 35 inches. 35 inches and then this this metal bar this is about how many inches do you reckon that is? That is about five inches. Five inches so gotcha. Here I think I might put it there. This one kind of pulls apart at a certain spot. I'd have to pull out the analog. Gotcha. It looks like four. Gotcha. Our next question is will you be showing one of the rooms that share the community bathroom girl side? We won't today but if you look at past streams of your home life like for 2021 for example we do show off the community bathroom. And you can also check out the 60-second video we also uploaded today that shows off a little bit. Created by Henry. It was created by me and that was a little self-advertising. So I mentioned about emailing housing for swapping roommates. So I'll also mention that again. Is there space to move the short dressers over by the desk? So not right here. Do you want to measure this space right here? Or we can just do it practically. I think it may be a little too tall. I feel like maybe we've done this before but I can't recall. Okay. No. It's a little bit too tall for that. But they are a wheel. They move easily. So the answer is no. You cannot move the dressers underneath the desk. How long is the desk and how wide? 60 inches long. 24 inches wide. We do appreciate all these questions. We know that you know having an extra bed in here is a little bit different but thank you. Yeah and that was actually that kind of brings up the next question is that someone asked were these rooms initially designated to be single occupancy and have they been changed to accommodate two students? That is correct. Yes we did that because of well frankly because of all the growth on campus. We've got a lot more students coming in. I know you're going to be addressing that with all your mini communities. Yes. So we're going to actually be searing for Walton, Duncan and Gregson. Big 10. All over. We're really excited about all these students we're getting so we want to make sure that they can every student knows that they have a place here on campus whether that's in one of our residence halls and some of our partner departments as well but we just want to make sure that everyone feels welcome. Gotcha. Next question is has this been done to the girls side so I think we're talking about the the south side and would we have been notified if so? I think at this point it has not happened on the south side it's only the north side. You know there's a lot of things still in play before we move everybody in but we we're feeling good now after this movement we feel we're good. Gotcha. And if you're room changer and think that most likely you would be notified I'd recommend start looking at eduark email now it's with a lot of emails come through so not your gmail or anything like that or the housing portal is also a great place. Gotcha. And then someone asked about the ethernet and it is right over there by the desk so you will you'll need to get an ethernet cord to hook up whatever you need but it is located by the desk. And again if there's any concerns about the double occupancy for the rooms you can email housing at housingatyork.edu or looking at the phone number. But I think that's all the questions we have for now so be sure to let us know any questions you have. In the meantime I think we've already talked about a week yeah we did which is a great opportunity to get involved. Do you have a favorite a week event summer? Sweet and spicy? Yeah. One maybe more filling to the other more healthy. Maybe. But they just have really great opportunities to be a bunch of not only our campus partners but also a bunch of places across Fayetteville so I definitely recommend checking those out. I think those are Tuesday, Wednesday night but the schedule is I think it's a week end here. And for I guess our Texans out there Waterburger is usually there. Yes it will be there again. I was very happy to see Waterburger at every taste of Fayetteville. But alright it doesn't look like we have any additional questions. If you have any questions or remember we can always email housing or call us. I just we as I said that we got one more question will you be touring a south side room? Yeah so that would be specifically 2021 that you can look up on our YouTube channel. But alright well thank you Summer for giving us this tour and you can sign us out. Awesome. Thanks Summer. Bye.
