A description of the different configurations is listed below. Please see the individual building pages for specific furniture information based on the type of building.

Bunking and Lofting Bed Rail Policy:

  • Georgia Institute of Technology Housing is in the process of purchasing adjustable beds. Most beds, however, have the ability to be raised and lowered. All self-adjusting beds shall only be adjusted by Housing maintenance staff or contractors of GT Housing. Students and/or parents are not permitted to raise or lower the beds themselves. Beds must stay in the adjusted position placed by GT Housing or their authorized contractor.
  • In accordance with the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requirements, bed rails must be used on all beds that are adjusted higher than thirty-six (36) inches at the top of the frame. Students and parents are not permitted to remove bed rails while the beds are in any position higher than thirty-six (36) inches at the top of the frame.  Students are also expected to keep the bed rails in their room or apartment. Students will be charged for any missing bed rails.
  • Students signing their contract agree to a waiver of liability as a condition of raising the bed.
  • Students who require ADA accommodations must self-identity with the Department of Disability Services.
