Laundry Room
 The Butler Community is lucky to have a large laundry room with inexpensive machines. We currently have 2 triple loader washing machines which should accommodate larger items (large blankets, etc)
We have a book exchange in the adjoining room where you can feel free to take a book or leave one, and there is a bucket under the table for your old batteries to be recycled.
We also have a Butler Forum (on the bulletin board) to communicate with the Butler Committee and the rest of the community. Check out the notices while you are doing your laundry!
In order to ensure that this space continues to be a clean and pleasant one, please:
- Empty washers and dryers promptly
- If you post notices, date them
- Do not remove chairs or baskets
- Put a note on any machine you discover is out of order
In addition to putting a note on a broken machine, report it to ButlerLaundry (at) princeton [dot] edu. Include in your email:
- The number(s) of the broken machine(s). Each machine is labeled.
- If known, what is wrong with the machine(s).
Your email will automatically be forwarded to the Butler superintendent and university employees in Housing/Maintenance. They have been told to expect these emails, and you should expect a response from someone on that list acknowledging the problem.

Computer Cluster
 Butler has a fully equipped computing lab for those without computers and for printing.
The fully accessible cluster is located at 226F Marshall Ave
The computer room (which is accessible using a code which can be obtained from the Butler Superindentent) includes:
- 8 PCs (Dell Optiplex GXi)
- 2 iMacs
- a variety of applications
- printing facilities
OIT provides all hardware, software, paper, toner and user support (call 8-HELP with problems). The cluster is open to P.U. students and their families with the door combination that has been distributed to all residents.
Be considerate. You must give first priority to academic work. See § 26 of CIT's Access and Reasonable Performance: "You must be sensitive to special need for software and services available in only one location, and cede place to those whose work requires the special items."
Be aware that the computer room is equipped with alarms, and these can be sensitive at times. Some residents have found that sliding a chair across the floor roughly may trip the alarm. The windows are also alarmed.

The dolly is particularly popular at move-in and move-out times.To reserve the dolly or the ladder, call the dolly coordinator a day or two ahead of time to make arrangements for picking up the key. The dolly and ladder are kept in the kitchen area of the Computer Cluster.
