Wilmer-Davis Hall Frequently Asked Questions
Room Furnishings
What furniture comes with the room?
All rooms have closets, twin beds, small chests of drawers, desks,
and lamps.
How long are the bed frames?
The bed frames are 39½" by 84."
What size sheets should I buy for my bed?
How much space is under the bed?
It depends on the bed and how you use it. The beds can be placed
high in the "storage position" which allows for approximately
30" of storage space. Some rooms have a 3-drawer dresser that
fits under the bed in this position. The bed can be placed in a
lower position as well, which allows for approximately 12"
of storage space. The beds can also be bunked.
Can I use a bed riser in my room to raise the bed off the floor to gain storage space under the bed?
Yes.
What are the dimensions of the closets?
The closets are 37½" wide by 62¾" high by
2’ deep. There is one closet per designed occupant, so a single
will have one closet area and double will have two. The closets
have two drawers below the main closet and two storage compartments
(37½" wide by 15½" high by 2’ deep)
above the closet.

three drawers, but 40" wide for the bottom two, by 17"
deep by 45" high. The other has three drawers and is 40"
wide by 18½" deep by 33" high. Usually double rooms
will have one of each, but this changes as residents move the dressers
around interchangeably. Single rooms could have either one.

light above the sink. The single rooms have only two outlets. Some
