Laundry Service

Out with the old...in with the new!

All current laundry equipment is being replaced with new, state-of-the-art washers and dryers the week of February 17.  In order to install the new equipment, each laundry facility will be offline for a short period of time (no more than 1/2 a day) that week.  Thanks for your patience and understanding as we upgrade your laundry experience!

Laundry Service is free to all Pitt-Johnstown Residents!  Facilities are provided in convenient locations across campus.   Laundry rooms are available inside the following buildings:

  • First-Year Buildings (lower level): Hemlock, Hickory, Laurel, Oak, and Maple Halls
  • Willow Hall (second floor)
  • CPA (ground floor)
  • LLC (third floor)

Additionally, laundry facilities are also available in the following campus communities (ID cards are required to enter the laundry areas):

  • North Lodges & Townhouses: Basements of Briar, Hawthorn, Heather, and Larkspur Lodges
  • South Lodges & Townhouses: Basement of Buckhorn Lodge.

Reporting a Laundry Issue is Simple & Fast

Laundry equipment is provided and maintained by a third-party vendor, CSC Service Works.  Any out-of-service machines need to be reported directly to CSC (Pitt-Johnstown Facilities Management does not service the washers or dryers on campus) via the CSCPay Mobile app. Please do not report out-of-service machines to Facilities Management or the Housing Office.  

Laundry Reminders

  • Use of laundry machines is on a first-come, first-served basis.  
  • Please be courteous and remove your items from the machine immediately upon completion of the laundry cycle. 
  • Check your pockets before laundering your clothes.  Items such as pens, hair ties, coins, and loose change can damage the equipment.  
  • Please use only liquid detergent or detergent pods in campus machines.  Powdered detergent should not be used.  
  • Leave washer doors open after use to enable the drum to dry quickly. 
  • Campus washing machines are High Efficiency, which means they require less detergent than regular machines.
