We are committed to reducing the risk of exposure to our community.

Fully vaccinated community – All Residents, staff and guests will be required to be fully vaccinated and provide verification. If you are not able to be fully vaccinated prior to arrival we will assist you to get the vaccine within 72 hours of your arrival.  We also require all members, Residents and staff, to participate in regular Covid-19 testing.  

Cleaning protocols – All communal spaces are cleaned multiple times throughout the day with high traffic areas getting the most attention. All mandated and recommended protocols are adhered to closely.

Reduced occupancy in I-House South – We plan to re-open I-House South at a reduced occupancy level to minimize the number of Residents sharing communal spaces including bathrooms and floor lounges and to not exceed the capacity to isolate and quarantine anyone who tests positive or is a close contact of someone who tests positive for Covid-19.

Quarantine and isolation spaces to accommodate positive cases – As per industry standard, we have set aside a number of studio apartment and rooms with private bathrooms in case anyone needs to be isolated or quarantine due to Covid-19 diagnosis or exposure. During the 2020-21 academic year there was an opportunity to perfect the protocols and procedures and we are confident in our ability to safely isolate anyone who tests positive and provide full support to anyone in isolation or quarantine while keeping the rest of the community and the staff safe.

Located steps from Riverside Park, Sakura Park, and public transportation to all of New York City, I-House is staffed with a reception desk and monitored 24/7. All amenity spaces have been re-opening slowly since January 2021 as soon as it was safe and possible to do so and we are thrilled that all amenity spaces will be open and available for the community for the 2021-22 academic year. Available amenities include free Wi-Fi; a staffed mail-room, bicycle storage room, 24/7 laundry facilities, and music practice rooms, The Main Lounge, HR Commons, the Map Lounge and the Dodge Room, the Frohlich Gymnasium and the Frohlich Fitness Center, the Dining Hall and Floor Lounges on each floor in I-House South. For the safety of the community there are limitations on the capacity of these communal spaces.
