Commonwealth/Dominion Furniture Update
During Summer 25, all beds and other furniture in Commonwealth and Dominion rooms have been replaced. The furniture will allow for beds to be lofted, desks to be adjusted to standing or sitting height, include a small bedside shelf, and provide additional seating to residents. All future furniture replacements will match that in Commonwealth/Dominion.
