Accessing the storage room:
|
Courtyard | |
The Eastgate courtyard (garden outside the front of the building) is for the use of Eastgate residents and their guests. The courtyard has a number of grills that can be used by residents for BBQs. The courtyard and BBQ area cannot be reserved; the facilities are available on a first-come first-serve basis, but please share the facilities. |
|
Playground | |
The playground can be accessed through the courtyard, and may be used by Eastgate parents and their children. During the daytime, the area is used by the Technology Children's Center (TCC). |
|
Laundry Room | |
Laundry facilities are located on the Penthouse floor. The cost is $1 for a load of laundry and $1 for a drying cycle (one dryer can handle almost two loads of washing). You can pay by quarters or TechCash (money put on your MIT ID card). Check the status of your laundry online using LaundryView. Please remove your clothes from the washers/dryers promptly after they are done. Only remove someone else's finished laundry from a washer/dryer if no other empty machines of the desired bleach/no-bleach type are available. |
|
Study Room | |
A room is available on the penthouse level for silent study. The bookshelf in this room is used for donating books to other residents (see Reuse/Recycling for more information). Eastgate residents (including partners who have an MIT ID card and Kerberos ID) may use the printer in the study room. To use it, follow the instructions given by IS&T. If you have any difficulty, the IS&T's Computing Help Desk is a great resource for helping you solve the problem. |
