There are multiple laundry machines in Cedar Centre (building #4). There are two payment options for laundry facilitated through Coinamatic:

1. You may purchase a laundry card for $10, which you can load on a machine outside of the laundry room in Cedar Centre. This machine accepts debit and credit cards
2. You may download the Coinamatic app. The app requires a VISA or MasterCard credit  or debit card.

We ask that you remove your laundry from machines soon after the machine is finished, so everyone can find a machine to use.
