See which washers and dryers are actually open before you walk across campus.

UVM LaundryLink on a phone: room search, favorites, and the live campus interface.

Live room data depends on the campus source. This is the actual product interface.

The problem

Campus laundry is a small system that wastes a surprising amount of time. Students walk to a room, find every machine running, and walk back.

The approach

LaundryLink puts room discovery, machine status, search, favorites, and SMS alerts on a phone-sized page so the trip is only worth making when a machine is actually available.

What it does

Room discovery

Browse UVM residence-hall laundry rooms and open a specific room without guessing which building to try.

Machine status

See washers and dryers as available, in use, finishing soon, cycle finished, or out of order, with remaining time when the source provides it.

Favorites, search, and alerts

Save rooms, filter machines, and set an SMS alert when a running machine should become available.

Why this still belongs here

This was an earlier campus project, and it is the same pattern as the later work: take a frustrating everyday system and make the useful state obvious.

LaundryLink is an independent student project. It is not an official University of Vermont product.
