Desk

Mail

Mail to dorm residents should be sent to 410 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02139. Desk workers sort mail by hand. Doubles and triples have two mailboxes; mail can go into either. Give mis-sorted mail to a deskworker. Mail sent to all residents (like announcements, advertisements) are not sorted but just put into any mailbox.

Packages

Packages are written up on the package whiteboard. Whatever UPS.com says, it’s not here until it’s on the whiteboard. You have to sign for packages to receive them. Packages addressed to non-residents will be refused. Desk will send outgoing packages if they are addressed and postage is paid. You must notify the shipping company to pick up your package; Desk will not.

Dollies

To rent a dolly, you leave your ID at Desk and sign it out in the equipment log.

Cots

There are cots available for guests of the residents. E-mail the desk captain at least one day in advance, and sign it out in the equipment log.
