The ceilings are what you notice first 13 feet, which is what makes the lofted bed setup in each bedroom possible and genuinely functional. Every bedroom has a built-in lofted bed with open space underneath room for a desk, a chair, a dresser, however you want to use it. It's a setup that works especially well for residents and students who want a dedicated study space without sacrificing a real bed.
