Clever Laundry Room is a solution for electronically monitoring the status of washer and dryer machines in laundry rooms across a university campus. The need for such a monitoring solution is prompted by the dynamic aspects of students’ lives. There seems to be a pattern for doing one’s laundry such that minima and maxima in work loads are very far apart. When the laundry room is busy it makes for an interesting balancing act as one forgets to move one’s clothes from the washer to the dryer for instance. The personal nature of the process makes it awkward to remove another’s clothes from a machine, pile them up in a potentially dirty spot so that one’s clothes can now be washed or dried.
