Off Campus Storage Unit Resources
As of October 2024, Campus Life will no longer offer storage to students. Students leaving the university at the end of any academic term*, will not have the option to store items on campus in residence hall spaces. Space is at a premium on campus and the need to use these spaces in different ways has elevated. The increasing demographic shift of hyper local students attending PLU diminishes the need to offer storage on campus for student items. Additional challenges, including the liability of storing expensive items, as well as unapproved items found in storage, resulting in a surge of bed bug issues, has become problematic.
*Students who leaving after any Fall Semester but are returning for J-term or Spring Semester to the same housing assignment do not need to fully move out of their residence hall after Fall Semester and may leave items in their residence hall during Winter Break/J-Term until they return to campus.
Options for Storing Items Off Campus
There are multiple storage companies in close proximity to the university if you want to use their services. Campus Life has compiled a list of storage companies within just a few miles of the university. Several of these companies are offering specials for PLU students only as long as you show your PLU ID at the time of booking.
PLU does not endorse any of the listed companies below. Storing with an off campus facility is at the student’s own risk and decision.
