Fold up dormitory apparatus, system and method

A method of providing a temporary living space using a Fold Up Dormitory apparatus convertible between a closed configuration for storage and an open configuration for use, comprising:

• a) providing said Fold Up Dormitory apparatus comprising a central core comprising storage shelving therewithin, a pair of folding frames, a bed platform, a desk surface, and storage shelving within said central core, all compacted into said closed configuration for storage so as to be contained within a hexahedronal space not exceeding 24″ thick, 45″ wide and 81″ high;
• b) expanding said Fold Up Dormitory apparatus into said open configuration for use, by:
• outwardly rotating each of said pair of folding frames on opposite sides of said central core, about vertical frame-to-core axes of pivotal connection between said folding frames and said central core;
• downwardly rotating said bed platform about a horizontal bed-to-core axis of pivotal connection between said bed platform and a first side of said central core;
• and
• downwardly rotating said desk surface about a horizontal desk-to-core axis of pivotal connection between said desk surface and a second side of said central core;
• wherein:
• c) once said apparatus is expanded into said open configuration for use:
• said folding frames are attached to said central core on one side of said bed platform and said desk surface and are substantially perpendicular to said first and second side, and are oriented in a substantially vertical plane;
• said bed platform is attached to said first side of said central core and oriented in a substantially horizontal plane;
• said desk surface is attached to said second side of said central core and oriented in a substantially horizontal plane, and is simultaneously usable together with said bed platform;
• and
• said storage shelving is accessible for use simultaneously with said bed platform and said desk surface;
• and wherein:
• d) said folding frames, said bed platform and said desk surface remain pivotally connected to said central core without disconnection while said apparatus is compacted into said closed configuration for storage, while said apparatus is expanded into said open configuration for use, and while said apparatus is converted between said closed configuration for storage and said open position for use.
