About Bloss Hall

Construction Update

In summer 2023, we're adding several exciting upgrades to Bloss Hall. The work includes a full remodel of the first-floor common areas, new community kitchen, renovated restroom and updates to the first-floor lounges, as well as a full building sprinkler system. Some construction activities on the first floor will still be taking place at move-in but will be completed early in Fall term!

Trash and Recycling

Each resident room has a bin for trash and a bin for recycling. When the room bins are full, residents need to empty them in the building's trash and recycling areas.

  • Bottles, cans and paper: recycle these items inside, in the gray, metal recycling bins in the lobby area on the ground floor.
  • Corrugated cardboard: recycle cardboard outside, in the cardboard bin inside the fenced area on the northwest side of the building.
  • Trash: empty your trash can outside, in the dumpster inside the fenced area on the northwest side of the building.
