Addressing the Unique Demands of Campus Laundry

Laundry on campus isn’t like laundry at home. Student housing facilities need machines that can handle hundreds of cycles each week with minimal downtime. Athletic departments require systems capable of processing team uniforms, towels, and gear quickly and hygienically. Administrators must balance high performance with ease of use, low energy consumption, and centralized control.

At Automated Laundry Systems, we understand these challenges. That’s why our equipment is engineered to deliver consistent, high-volume performance while remaining durable, secure, and student-friendly. Whether you’re outfitting a single residence hall or managing laundry across multiple buildings, we offer systems that scale with your needs.

Equipment Built for Campus Scale and Use

Our industrial-grade washers and dryers range from 20 to 135 lbs in load capacity—ideal for student laundry, linens, athletic gear, and faculty housing. Most schools opt for mid-range sizes that offer high throughput without excessive space or energy demands.

​

We also offer both soft-mount and hard-mount configurations:

​

  • Soft-mount machines are vibration-isolated and can be installed on upper floors or non-reinforced structures—perfect for modern dormitories or retrofitted spaces.

  • Hard-mount machines are bolted to concrete slabs and offer long-term performance at a lower equipment cost—ideal for ground-floor or utility room installations.

 

By assessing your facility’s structural and utility setup, we help you choose the right configuration for performance and longevity.

Trusted Commercial Brands for Reliable Performance

We proudly partner with industry-leading manufacturers whose machines are designed for heavy, daily use in institutional environments. Our core lineup includes:

​

  • Maytag – Known for reliability and intuitive student-facing controls

  • General Electric (GE) – Energy-efficient machines with advanced diagnostics

  • Miele – Premium features with programmable cycles and smart interfaces

  • Fagor – Efficient and robust solutions ideal for staff-operated rooms

  • American Dryer Corporation (ADC) – High-performance dryers with quick turnaround times

 

All of our equipment is commercial- or industrial-grade—not residential models retrofitted for higher usage. This ensures dependable operation throughout the academic year and beyond.

Coin or Card: Flexible Operation Options

Whether your school operates laundry facilities for student self-service or staff-only use, we offer coin-operated and non-coin-operated machines. Our student-facing machines can be integrated with:

​

  • Card-based or mobile app payments

  • Contactless NFC systems

  • QR code or barcode scanning

  • Campus ID integrations

 

This flexibility improves the student experience while reducing administrative overhead. Administrators can set pricing, review usage analytics, and track performance remotely through our cloud-based dashboards.

Smart Monitoring and Centralized Control

With our remote monitoring tools, your facilities team gains full visibility into machine status, maintenance alerts, and usage trends across campus. Receive real-time data on:

​

  • Machine availability

  • Cycle completion rates

  • Downtime alerts

  • Preventive maintenance scheduling

 

This is particularly useful for colleges managing multiple residence halls, athletic facilities, or satellite campuses. Our systems integrate with central dashboards to simplify oversight and boost efficiency.

Built-In Sustainability and Utility Savings

We understand that universities are under pressure to reduce energy and water consumption. Our equipment supports your green building goals by incorporating:

​

  • High-speed extraction to reduce drying time and energy usage

  • Programmable water levels for precise, load-based control

  • Detergent injection systems to eliminate waste and ensure chemical consistency

  • Shorter, optimized cycles that save time and resources

 

These features not only lower your environmental footprint—they also lead to significant utility savings over time. Many campuses also qualify for local rebates and incentives with our ENERGY STAR–rated models.

Turnkey Design, Installation & Training

Every campus has different needs, spaces, and infrastructure. That’s why we begin with an on-site consultation, followed by layout planning, utility coordination, and final equipment selection. Our turnkey services include:

​

  • CAD and layout support

  • Delivery and installation

  • Ventilation and drainage coordination

  • ADA compliance review

  • Staff and student training at handover

 

We work directly with facility managers, general contractors, and procurement officers to ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.

Flexible Leasing and Financing for Educational Budgets

Capital budgets can vary widely between public and private institutions. That’s why we offer flexible procurement options:

​

  • Lease-to-own programs

  • Service-inclusive leasing

  • Short-term equipment rentals for seasonal needs

  • RFP and institutional purchasing support

 

We’ve helped schools secure new equipment without large upfront investments and offer the flexibility to upgrade as your campus grows.

Lifetime Support with Factory-Trained Technicians
