Residential Storage Policy

The University is changing its storage policy for bicycles and for refrigerators and personal items.

Bicycle storage: OWU will provide bike storage for students at no cost. If you have a bicycle to store for fall and/or winter, please contact Public Safety to make arrangements.

Refrigerators and personal items: OWU does not provide on-campus storage for personal items except for bicycles. There are a number of private storage providers in the Delaware, Ohio area that you may contact for rates and options. Personal items must be relocated prior to vacating residential spaces and turning over room keys to Residential Life.

Fraternity House Storage

Storage for personal property is not available on site at each fraternity house.

Under the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding for Fraternity Chapters Assigned to University Residences, the University will provide a secure storage space for property owned by the Chapter – other than common area furnishings that will remain in place. All movable property owned by the Chapter or its national organization must be removed from the House or placed in a designated, University-approved storage area in the House. Should storage space in the House be insufficient for fraternity-owned property, the University will provide temporary portable storage units at its expense to store additional items. 

SLU And House Storage

Storage for personal property is not available on site at each SLU or House.  

Other Storage Options

OWU doesn't endorse any particular public storage providers, but several are located near campus. At least one provider -- Brown Jug Storage, 224 E. William St., 740-972-5390 -- offers a reduced rate to students with valid University IDs.
