BUILDING INFO

Rooms

Do not use rooms that are not on the pairing. If it is not  on the pairing, we likely don't have access to it, or there is a class scheduled to use it. Please check with Adrienne before using a room that is not on the pairing. This includes departmental office lobby areas (the ones on the ends of each floor in Combs, e.g.).

Combs 139 is an open common room. Please do not play music in there.

Please dispose of all food trash in the large trash cans in the hallways, not in the rooms or restrooms.

Tech/Furniture

Do not use/touch any technology in rooms or remove furniture or items from rooms. Please do not place drinks or food on the technology consoles in any room.

Audio/Music

Please do not play audio/music in public spaces. When in rooms, volume needs to be kept *very* low, as there are classes in the building during the weekend, and several adjacent office spaces which have asked us to keep volumes levels down.
