The Closets

Each room occupant gets their own closet. Closets measure approximately 38 inches wide, 25 inches deep, and 88 inches high. There is a shelf approximately 65 inches high, with a clothing hanging bar below. There is approximately 20.5 inches from the top of the shelf to the ceiling, though you should plan to leave 18 inches of clearance between anything on the shelf and the pop-out sprinkler head on the ceiling. This is required by the fire-code and violations will be documented.

Community Spaces

Mews Hall is filled with many lounge / study spaces throughout the entire building - this one of the best aspects of our community! On each floor, there are two end hall lounges- this is where you will be attending many of your community meetings. Additionally, there is a lounge in the middle of each floor- in this lounge you will find a 60 inch TV and some couches as well as a kitchen inclusive of some storage space, a large refrigerator and an oven/stove.

We have three large programming lounges in our community: the 1 East lounge, the 1 West lounge and the Lund Lounge. The Lund Lounge has a beautiful baby grand piano that we always love to see/hear residents playing. The 1 East lounge is our largest lounge with a TV and our 1 West lounge is similarly equipped, with a ping pong table as well.

Meditation & Wellness Room

Mews & Loving House is the home to a meditation room which contains yoga mats, a small table with chairs, and general mindfulness tools/activities. Shoes are not permitted in this space, please remove before entering!
