Laundry
Archbold Biological Station has a laundry room available to all guests for washing and drying personal items. You must provide your own laundry products. Archbold is not responsible for lost or damaged items.
In order to reduce costs and energy, we have adopted a policy to minimize laundry by asking guests to get multiple uses of towels by hanging them to dry after each use. Guests staying for multiple days may request fresh linens and towels from the facilities coordinator.
Washer is $0.25 a load and Dryer is $0.50 a load
