Storage

A.  Storage Areas

1.  Fletcher Barn is intended for use by Middlebury College undergraduates who will be away from the college for the summer, for a school term or more, but not exceeding 18 months.  When a student withdraws or graduates from the college, all items must be removed from college storage at that time of withdrawal or before leaving campus following commencement. 

All items to be stored by a student will be received at one time and will be stored collectively.  Upon returning to campus, the student must retrieve all his/her items at one visit during the scheduled storage hours.   Contact Public Safety or check the Public Safety web page for the current schedule.

2.  Other storage areas:

Students living on campus may require additional storage space for their personal belongings during the academic year.  Most residential halls have designated a room for storage to meet this need.  Space is limited.  Please contact your Commons Office or Bilingual Assistant for more information.
