Laundry Machine Replacements in the Quad

In conjunction with our on-campus laundry vendor, Tedimatts, Facilities Services is in the process of removing all the washers and dryers in both Reid and Sulzberger Halls in preparation for the installation of brand new washers and dryers.  As soon as the old machines are removed, the rooms will be closed so that Tedimatts and Facilities Services can clean and paint each location. 

Sometime next week, after the rooms have been cleaned and painted, brand new front loading washers and stacked dryers will be installed.  Instructions on how to use these machines will be posted in each laundry room.

Please be aware that we will be leaving one room, Sulzberger 3rd floor, open and operational during this transition in order that summer residents with laundry needs have access to do laundry in the quad should the need arise. 

Since this will be the only operational laundry room in the quad during this time, we ask that you please be courteous and remove your garments from the machines as soon as your cycle is over so that your neighbors can use the machines as well.  Students with large amounts of laundry to do during this period should use the laundry rooms either in building 600 or in Elliott Hall.

The laundry room on the 3rd floor of Sulzberger will be cleaned, painted and have new units installed as soon as the other floors are fully functional.

Thank you for your patience!

them, the electrical systems cannot support the additional usage. Also, fans may not be places on or in windows / sills, due to the possibility that they would fall out and hit someone/something.

Barnard Important Information about Swine Flu (H1N1 Flu)

To Students in Barnard Summer Housing:


It has been a month and a half since health officials first became aware of the swine flu (H1N1) outbreak. While the cases in New York City have been relatively mild, the numbers continue to increase and we want to take a moment to caution against complacency. It’s easy to get tired of the updates and the warnings, but as a community, we must stay alert in order to stay healthy.

Here’s what we urge you to do. As always, please practice the kind of good personal hygiene that will prevent the spread of flu, including covering your cough, and washing your hands or using hand sanitizer frequently. Hand sanitizer dispensers are now available all across campus. If you should become ill with flu-like symptoms - fever of 100.4 or higher, with cough or sore throat - please stay in and do not go to work or classes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that you seek medical advice from your physician and stay away from others for 7 days after onset of illness or at least 24 hours after symptoms have resolved, whichever is longer.

In addition, it has become clear that all people who have asthma, diabetes, emphysema, or other chronic illnesses, are pregnant, or are below 2 or above 65 years of age, are at an increased risk of severe illness or complications from swine flu. The NYC Department of Health recommends that individuals with underlying health conditions take even greater precautions and seek treatment with antiviral medication immediately if flu-like symptoms develop. Also, if you have had close contact with someone who has flu-like illness (for example, a member of your household or a suitemate), please consult with your health care provider right away about taking antiviral medicine prophylactically, to reduce the chances of becoming ill.

Finally, in order to effectively monitor our community’s situation, we ask that you inform Public Safety at x4-3362 immediately if you develop flu-like symptoms. You should also contact Public Safety in the event that you need urgent medical assistance.

We are working hard to keep the Barnard community informed and safe. Thanks for helping us all stay healthy.
