Lab Coat Laundry Services

Morgan Laundry Services provides laundry services for the labs and research community in Evanston and Chicago. Once enrolled in the program, you can charge the service to your Northwestern chart string.  For customer owned lab coats, Morgan will pick up and deliver customer-owned garments to established centralized pick up/drop off points. If an individual department’s volume meets minimum requirements, location specific service can be established. Linen Rental Service including rental lab coats, scrubs, towels, bedsheets, etc., is also available. 

Free Laundry Program

You may pick-up clean lab coats free of charge through the Office of Research Safety Laundry Program. Drop-off and pick-up locations are at the Chicago stockroom and Evanston  ORS office. More information can be found on the ORS website.

Please note this free laundry program only applies to generic lab coats with a Northwestern logo. Users may drop off a dirty coat and take a clean one of the same size. No personalized coats will be accepted.
