Computer Labs
Computer labs are operated by University Housing and are open 24 hours a day. Our fast computers, software library, and high-resolution laser printers can be important resources for our residents.
Orchard Downs residents may access the computer lab located at 2030A with their laundry key. Goodwin-Green residents will find their computer lab in the lobby of 300 Goodwin.
Residents with a University login are eligible to use the computer labs. Residents are responsible for the supervision of their children in computer labs.
Internet Access
Due to the unique locations of Orchard Downs and Ashton Woods, Housing subsidizes broadband Internet from Comcast for Orchard Downs and Ashton Woods residents. Goodwin-Green apartments are on the same network as the residence halls. Our technology section explains everything you need to know about Internet access in your apartment.
Outdoor Grills
We recognize that many families enjoy grilling outdoors. Your lease prohibits open fires from a hibachi, grill, or other appliance in any balcony, stairwell, or entryway of any building. Family & Graduate Housing provides grills for your use. At Ashton Woods, some of the courtyards are equipped with a picnic area and grill for your outdoor enjoyment. Grills at Orchard Downs are located by the Community Center, by the playground at Hazelwood Court, near the Family & Graduate Housing office, and behind apartment 2006 near the playground.
If you do use your own grill on the lawns, keep a reasonable distance from the buildings so that the smoke does not disturb your neighbors. Family & Graduate Housing also provides trash containers for coal and ash disposals that are marked specifically “charcoal.” Coals should never be deposited in the garbage dumpsters. Please use care when barbecuing. Never place a grill next to a building or leave it unattended.
Car Wash
At Orchard Downs, University Housing has installed two waterspouts on the back of the South Laundry. Residents can park at the back of the building and access water to wash their cars.
Ice Machines
Ice machines are located at the South Laundry in Orchard Downs and are free for all residents to use.
Picnic Area/Recreation
At Orchard Downs, there are numerous picnic areas throughout the community. Please help maintain these areas by disposing of trash in appropriate trash receptacles. Playground facilities are scattered throughout Orchard Downs. Residents are encouraged to use these for fun and safe spaces to play. Young children must always be accompanied and supervised by an adult. For residents who enjoy playing basketball, courts are located near each of the buildings.
Vending Machines
Vending machines are located in the Orchard South laundry. Residents are welcome to use these machines while doing their laundry.
