Bathroom Styles in the Residence Halls

August 10, 2026 by Kallen A. Brown

Missouri State University residence halls feature three different restroom styles across our residential buildings. 

Our suite-style bathrooms are featured in Blair-Shannon, Hammons, Hutchens, Kentwood and Scholars. All suites have a restroom attached to the central living area that all roommates in the suite will share. These restrooms have a locking door, shower, toilet and sink. A standard vinyl shower liner and curtain rod is provided. Students are responsible for providing their own toiletries, including toilet paper, and cleaning the space.  

Our single-user private bathrooms are featured in Heitz and Woods. These are stocked with toilet paper and paper towels and cleaned by our custodial staff every weekday. To enter one of these restrooms, you will need your access card. Within these restrooms, there is a central area with a row of sinks and a variety of smaller rooms with floor-to-ceiling doors that lock from the inside. In each of the smaller rooms, there is a toilet with toilet paper, a shower with a liner, a sink with soap, and paper towels. We recommend that students wear white-soled shower shoes when using the restroom.  

Our community-style bathrooms are featured in Wells and Freddy, which are gender-specific based on every floor. These are stocked with toilet paper and paper towels and cleaned by our custodial staff every weekday. To enter one of these restrooms, you will need your access card. Each restroom will have toilets with provided toilet paper on one side of the room, showers with a liner and lockable doors on the other side of the room, and a central area with sinks, soap, and paper towels. We recommend that students wear white-soled shower shoes when using the showers. If students have guests of a different gender visiting them, there are public restrooms in both buildings. If a guest needs to use a shower, both buildings have a single user shower room on the ground floor, that can be accessed through checking out a key at the front desk. 

In all of our restrooms, we ask that students do not flush wet wipes, even if they are labeled flushable. We also ask that if anything in any of the restrooms in our residence halls needs to be addressed, please reach out to their front desk or RA.

Bunk Beds vs Loft Beds: What’s the Difference?

July 6, 2026 by Kallen A. Brown

bunkable vs loftable beds with diagram showing that bunkbeds have pegs and loft beds can be raised or lowered

We have two different types of beds in our residence halls: beds that bunk, and beds that loft.

Bunkable beds can be stacked using metal pegs that you can check out from the front desk. Bunkable beds are found in Blair-Shannon, Freddy, Hammons, Hutchens, Scholars and Wells residence halls. Bunkable beds cannot be lofted. Bed risers can be used on these types of beds, but only if they are unbunked.

Loftable beds can move up and down on the frame, leaving you with more or less space under your bed. Loftable beds are found in Heitz, Kentwood and Woods. These beds can be raised up to 55 inches to accommodate your desk and chair underneath or lowered to 25 inches. Loftable beds cannot be bunked. Bed risers cannot be used on these types of beds.

If you have any questions about your specific assignment, please reach out and we will be happy to answer any questions.
