The Culinary Institute of America maintains a strict furniture policy to ensure fire safety. Additionally, personal furniture can contribute to pest problems. All rooms are furnished appropriately for their occupants.
Any additional furniture must be approved prior to being brought to campus. When personal furniture is approved to be brought into the residence halls, it must fit into the bedroom or suite and must be purchased new. CIA-owned furniture belonging to the suite or room will not be removed under any circumstances and must remain in the room or suite. Residents should obtain proper measurements of the room space prior to acquiring any new furniture to ensure safe egress.
The Manager must also approve additional furniture requests—Environmental Health and Safety. If approved for specialty furniture, residents are responsible to move personal furniture on their own when they move in or out of the building. Residents will be charged for any personal furniture that causes pest problems. Residence Life may amend these guidelines at any time and reserves the right to require the immediate removal of any personal furniture for any reason.
The following furnishings are provided at each campus:
